In addition, most guys who are still racing @ age 40+ are talented at it. That's one reason why they're still doing it.
Most. I suck at the sport, always have, now I just suck harder. I took up racing to test my limits, they were always tested, I have always struggled at racing, and I've had a few moments, but VERY few.
