driven my karts since November, so I've been off a while but we actually have a race here September 6-7 and there are a couple of boys from Australia coming here and they beat me pretty easily, but they can't quite get a hold of Eddie (Lawson, fellow former American multiple 500c world champion) yet, but I'm still doing that a bit. It's a TZ250 and I can do a 1:26 (one minute 26 seconds) with my hand controls around Laguna Seca and I think they race 1:25, 1:26, so it's been quite interesting for me to go back out there and not really compete against these other guys - there is a few guys that I can race with, but I think the biggest surprise for me is that I can challenge myself. I'm obviously not going to win, but I do enjoy putting my helmet on and going out there and trying to trying to go as fast as I can. It's just fun, I try to have fun in the end. It can get very frustrating because obviously having no feeling from the chest down I always pick up what's going on with the kart a little bit late, so mentally I'm always holding back because physically I just can't pick it up soon enough, but I enjoy it at the end of the day. Q: You rode in an era of Grand Prix racing that was one of the really special eras against some great riders
