You more or less raced because you wanted to. You couldn't afford to, and you couldn't make no money out of it. It was just basically because you wanted to.
[I]f you've got the nerve, then all you'll have to do is keep working till you get with the right team to where you've got the speed. Then you put both of them together and you've got something that nobody can basically cope with.
I've always felt like if I could grow up and be like my father, I'd be happy and satisfied with my life, and I still feel that way about it.
