    Thanks heaps for insight. I had seizure when I was 37 driving home from work and went straight off road into powerpole. They said I now have epilepsy and scans show legion in my brain. Have had some bad crashes knocking myself out and breaking bones while mx. Now can't drive or work. I get week long brain scans in hospital in September and probably have same surgery. So scared. Congratulations on recovery mate.

    We all probably say "like" more times than we should, but that was a lot and hard not to notice. I wonder how much public speaking training or at least some tips these top racers get? I thought I read somewhere they get some training in the combines. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for the interview and content, thanks!
