Don't know who to attribute these two, but:
"You can make a small fortune in racing if you start with a large one."
and
"There are days when club racing feels like standing in a cold shower while tearing up $100 bills."
or something like that...

The greatest quote I've ever read came from a piece on Ayrton Senna and helps you begin to grasp the depth of his talent and genious.
-Even Senna confessed he occasionally went too far, as was the case in qualifying for the 1988 Monaco Grand Prix, where he became a passenger on a surreal ride into the unknown. Already on pole, he went faster and faster and was eventually over two seconds quicker than Prost in an identical McLaren. "Suddenly, it frightened me," Ayrton said, "because I realised I was well beyond my conscious understanding. I drove back slowly to the pits and did not go out anymore that day."-
If you aren't familiar with F1 two seconds is usually the split between 1st and 15th. It's NEVER the split between 1st and 2nd. It can be argued that this man was the greatest driving talent ever to walk the planet.
