I started racing the other way around. Got married in 1987. I worked like DOG for years to make ends meet. During that time, I had to sell some toys that I had prior to marriage. ie: motorcycle, 1975 Molyslip Civic & M38 jeep and others. Wife spent money like tap water. I divorced her in 1993. Also in 1993 I lost my job, wolf was trying to take the house, and owed $$$ everywhere.

Did I jump off a bridge? No. Decided to go road racing. Five years later, met wife #2. I laid the racing rules down on the table PRIOR to marriage. Now, 10 years after that, the road racing still happens every year. I just bring wife along and camp with RV at the track every race weekend. It works for me...
