I remember back in my late 30's when I was racing this much, and I watched the video of that Steve McQueen movie LeMans where he says something to the effect of 'racing is life, everything else is just waiting'. At the time I really felt that way.

I'm not that gung ho now, but racing is big fun. I didn't expect to enjoy it quite this much, but I suppose there was a reason I did it so much in the 1990's. Actually enjoying it more now in some respects. I don't take it (or anything else) as seriously as I used to.
