God damn it.
And so unfortunately, I know it's a movie.
Anyway, and so I kept coming back to track and track days.
And eventually, I did some races with friends.
in, like, Mazda Miatas, right?
Like, you just, like, old, beaten-up Mazda Miatas, like, rip out everything, make them light.
And we did endurance racing, which I like particularly.
It's like when you go and race with some other people, like, some other drivers together for, you know, six, eight hours, and you shave a car.
I didn't take it initially too seriously and just had fun.
The common story for me has always been I love doing difficult things surrounded by friends.
And to me, entrepreneurship is like this, just racing with teammates is really good.
Eventually, I get in a car that is called a radical car.
It's like a track.
A car that doesn't look like a McLaren or a Ferrari or something.
It's just made for the track.
It has lots of downforce.
Downforce, as in pushes the car to have extra grip the faster it goes.
You hear these stories about Formula One cars who could drive on the ceiling of a tunnel, no problem, because they can.
They generate a ton of downforce.
Anyway, so I got into this and it became my hobby.
