His calm boyish nature is overshadowed only by his ferocity on the racetrack. He's like a little brother to me. The best advice that I could offer to the new breed of Pro Stock Bike racers is to take it slow and in moderation. The sheer number of fans who turn out to view our races is enough to intimidate some and inflate the ego of others. I have seen some racers walk around the pits like they are so much better than the fans who pay good money to watch them race.
Racers are no better, no worse.
In fact, some of those fans are the same people who we turn when we need our teeth examined, our plumbing fixed, and our cars serviced. So we need them just as much as they need us for their racing fix. A. Racing a Pro Stock Bike with my disability is a very hard thing to do. Now that I think about it, I have to work twice as hard an able-bodied racer. Pro Stock Bike racers' feet and lower legs play a tremendous part in the overall stability of the race bike.
