Couldnt be better said

I think from my observations of human nature people , some people, have an inherent fear of failure. Its is emotionally easier to quit than admit failure.

Me Ive made failure and art....one day Ill succeed at something that will make me rich, but if not Ill be happy to keep trying and failing....how many failures did Edison have before succeeding on the light bulb 1000?

Marty Snowball had 2 stockers at a mid 70s division 2 points race at Bradenton Fl, a cobrajet 69 Torino automatic and a cobrajet Mustang 4 speed. We broke the motor in the Mustang and the transmission in the Torino. Sane people would have called it good and loaded up. Insane peole got the owner to lock us in overnight at the track and we swapped the good motor into the Mustang plus drank a lot of beer. Talk about a long shot happy ending, Sunday he wins stock eliminator in the Mustang. We had 5 or 6 south Fl. Ford racers and dealership mechanics helping and to this day its one of the most rewarding races Ive ever been too and took part in
