The strange thing about my drag racing is that I am very calm when I am lining up to race. This seems to allow me to cut some pretty good pro trees and I won some races because of that. The Beretta was a mid 4 second 150mph 1/8th mile car and it did not scare me at all despite being very dangerous.
On the stranger side I play a lot of competitive pool in tournaments and leagues and I get extremely nervous doing that. The only thing that can hurt me there is my ego taking a hit, or maybe me hitting myself over my head with my cue.

When its something natural theres no reason to be nervous. I powerlifted for years an some of the weight I would move would make a normal man think twice. Since strength was so natural for me I looked forward to the rush of setting a new max for myself. Its hard to beat the feeling of having over 500lbs in my hands.
