Oh well, it's all good - carry on....
Well, I'm focusing on racing myself. For example, I've watched women do barrel races for years. In fact, it's a purely female sport I think, and quite dangerous at times. Oh well. Hayes' girlfriend just started racing a few years ago and she's doing okay. Imagine if she had started when she was 3 years old, that's all I'm saying.
