Pastoral Resources

The driver of a racing car is a component. When I first began, I used to grip the steering wheel firmly, and I changed gear so hard that I damaged my hand.

The racing driver's mind has to have the ability to have amazing anticipation, coordination, and reflex. Because of the speed the car goes.

I have to accept risk as a racing driver.

Indy car racing is much more aggressive.

Gary Smith, when I came to America, taught me a great deal about racing.

A racing driver has to be a good driver.

I am very happy because motor racing is very important outside the states, very big all over the world.

I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa, so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there, near my family, my kids, also the real estate business I run with my wife.

As an individual, not as the boss of a company, I am very interested in motor racing.

Road racing at the moment because it's still so new to me. I like the fact that they are longer and teamwork is important. I guess the same is true for track, it's just that I have used track this year as a training device to improve my sprinting in road racing.

I think racing and riding are two different elements of cycling. You either want to or not depending on what you want to get out of it.

But my passion is racing cars. It's what I like to do in my off time.

But I plan on dedicating specific training to track this winter for the next racing season.

Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

A lesser but still fundamental rule of racing is that you properly enter the event. Anyone who doesn't but still insists on running interferes with the paying customers.

Winter testing is essential but there comes a point where you have had enough of all the rehearsals and the pretend racing. You just want to get down to the real action.

Books on horse racing subjects have never done well, and I am told that publishers had come to think of them as the literary version of box office poison.

I drove long distances like the 24 hours of Le Mans for years. But even this racing is now over. I retired.

I think the best way is to forget about racing people and just find territory that's fresh.
