Why I Never Went Pro

Both of my uncles were very successful motorcycle, snowmobile and sports car racers. My cousin was in the X Games this year and is a professional motorcycle racer.

It is in my blood. I had hopes, dreams, a real plan and the talent to roadrace motorcycles as a teen.

But what day of the week does every race in the world seem to happen on? Sunday. (That's why I had to do the downhill race yesterday on a rare Saturday.)

Sunday is a different day for me. A day devoted to things above and beyond the physical world. More important than racing. I donate 10% of my income to my church. So donating 1/7th of my week to religious observance and thought isn't that big of a stretch.

And it is something that I think in the long run will be better for me than having tried pursuing a career in racing as a teen.
