*giggles* Such a blunt description.

Maybe. The likelihood of death is a turnoff for me, personally.

Well. . . . it's true.

It's been a while, actually, for someone to die.
*laughs*
Most of those moves, anyway, have been long since illegal in the racing world, technology is advanced, and now there are loads more safetys on the car so it /can't/ get maximum performance, so the driver doesn't kill himself.

I know, but it's just funny to hear...or read.

*doesn't follow racing*
Well, that's good I suppose, but still... Acting vs Racing, you'd think he'd have picked acting. Maybe he wanted too much money or something.

Edit: @ Tally: *agrees*

*nods*

I'm still not completely over Da Matta's injury. He almost died. In . . '05, I think it was, during practice, a deer came onto the track where you're going 180-200mph. They collided, and he in the end was paralyzed, and lost about 1/2 of his brain. *loves Da Matta* *still has his last ChampCar flyer from when he raced that*

He's been back to racing cars, though. Just bigger, less powerful ones.

True, true. But racing does bring in loads of cash. . . .

@ Lamp: My dad loved racing. My mom just liked to watch the explosions. XD

o.o See. There's why I wouldn't want to do it, and there are a lot of stupid/ deadly things I /would/ do.

@ Tally: Working on it.

XD That's how I got into it, on and off, actually.

*disagrees*
Racing = Win.

According to Wikipedia (and yes, being a werdie I totally looked him up on Wiki.) He wanted to try something new, he found acting wasn't really satisfying. So he took a break from it. Of course now, it's time for him to decide whether or not he wants to go back to acting.

He announced he wanted to be a racecar driving in 2004 and/or 2005. He said in five or so years he see whether or not he'd go back.
