I am not a fan of races, especially those that burn fuel, make excessive noise, contribute to landfill and disrupt our natural environment. Of course, I understand the need for emergency vehicles to reach those in distress in good time. My life was gratefully saved in one circumstance.
What is it with our competitive nature, to rush to the end? What is the thrill? What is the benefit?
