Featured In the February 2024 issue of Roadracing World:
“I am not alone in recognizing that racing is a drug. Or, more accurately, it releases neuro-modulatory chemicals which are addictive. Once you’ve started chasing the dragon it is very difficult to step away and then be content with a day-to-day life.
“But the cruelty of aging, the frailty of the flesh, and the siren call of comfort (the ultimate enemy of adventure) dictates that all adventurers have to eventually retire from the field. And, after winning 19 Overall and Class National Championships, it’s a bit tough sometimes to find the motivation for another motor swap, another all-night drive, another bucket pulled from the well of emotional support to help a de-motivated teammate.
“The converse of this is that, eventually, we are going to have to lose a championship, or quit, but there is also the knowledge that there is no high like the racetrack in a championship fight…”
“Army of Darkness: Shattered Cases And Plastic Trophies,” by Sam Fleming
