    Father, whom I murdered every night but one,
    That one, when your death murdered me,
    —Howard Moss (b. 1922)

    I don’t go that fast in practice, because I need the excitement of the race, the adrenalin. The others might train more and be in better shape, but when I’m racing, I put winning before everything else. I don’t stop until the world gets gray and fuzzy around the edges.
    —Candi Clark (b. c. 1950)
