Yea decelleration must be an adrenaline rush as well as you are crashing and watching the vehicle coming apart around you in what seems like slow motion. Very similar to jumping off of a building or a bridge. It is not the drop or the flight time on the way down that hurts. Its the sudden impact of the surface below. It must be great just to do it and live, and also terrifying to crash at over 200mph like they do in NASCAR, but then they have cars designed to take impacts and crashes at those speeds, and still be able to walk away (most of the time anyway), but a street car is just not built to withstand any issues at that speed. I have seen way too many great drivers talk about what a rush it is, only to die in their next run. What's the statistics these days like 250,000 people die every year on USA roads, and most of them are only doing 65mph. Just doen't seem worth it to me.

By the way nice to see you popping in here James. how's the business going? Still working too many hours I bet.
