your pink body in a high performance machine and going at the

"Wilcox
compares the racers he's known with fighter pilots:
'It involves intelligence and a lot of discipline, both
drivers and pilots need to have mature judgment, the ability
to make rapid, snap decisions when they are out there on the
ragged edge.' " --Autoweek
