Inspiration/ Why we do this
Call it a muse, call it whatever you want, but everyone has one. Whether it be the sunset, misery, or want of someone you can't have, something moves you to do what you do. The problem with inspiration is that it needs an outlet or it can make you explode. Have something to express yourself. Being too incompetent and lazy to learn to create music, too uncoordinated to paint/sculpt/dance/play sports and too shy to sing or act, it wasn't until recently that i found my outlet. I share this art form with all the other true gear heads who punish themselves and their machines whenever they can. The weekend warriors, pushing it farther than they thought possible. I wish I could take an aerial picture of the courses and tracks we destroy. You can see what they were thinking if you look closely. That trail of dust on the exit of turn 3? He got a little too hot headed, let the anger drive him. Emotion can help if you can channel it into the car. I've gotten to the point that anger can make me faster. That burning heat of adrenaline in your veins, I'd imagine it's the same feeling Musicians get when they're belting out whatever melody is causing people to be locked in that venue. It's the feeling a Dancer gets on stage throwing themselves around with grace. This is my art. Love it or leave it, but don't hate it. It keeps me sane.
