<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (frosty58 @ Oct 17 2009, 12:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>impressive HF! you had a great time & memories that few will ever get the chance to have. it's ashame that the money aspect is what ends so many promissing careers in motorsport but it's the same in other non motorspot as well.
Tennis, golf, even team sports like soccer, football, hockey, basketball. You don't have the money, it is hard to reach top levels. Look at the kids on the ManU reserve team. The 14-15 year olds all come from great homes. You don't see 15 years old Joe Blow whose mom snorts blow, from a .... part of London on any clubs junior ranks. The top hockey players didn't just come out of know-where. The top junior teams are filled with talent, but filled with parents that can financially support a major hockey club. To get recognized by scouts, a basketball players has to play amateur club ball outside high school. If Tiger Woods was a black guy growing up in Compton instead of Cypree, California, he'd be doing time, not being the greatest golfer to ever breath on the planet.
