Mr. Pavlick - I second what the Rocker said.... Get well soon, sir!
Walt, there is an old adage, and it holds true in anything you do in life. Unless you are quite comfortable milking the system, you work HARD (for myself, from the age of 14 to current - which is only, like, 5 years or so
) for what you have. You or your family goes without on some instances. It is the same in motorsports.
