It's a blast. It's one of those deals where you've either got it or you don't. You either have a desire to race or you don't. For anybody who has thought about giving racing a try, it's a cheaper alternative to jumping in a stock car right away. Not that it can't get expensive.

I invested in many companies, and I'm happy this one worked. This is capitalism. You invest in stock, it goes up, it goes down. You know, if you don't like capitalism, you don't like making money with stock, move to Cuba or China.
