Believe it or not, my range of motion is better now than at any time of my life prior. And I used to be a collegiate athlete. Breaking my vertebrate has forced me to really examine my alignment/flexibility. I can now easily go into a full squat, where I difficulty in really getting into the full squat, before.

As I was reading your post regarding you being an adrenaline junkie, it made me thin that you are a prime candidate for vintage racing. After a race I am on an adrenaline high for about three days. However, before you considered going that route I would download the medical form for a vintage racing organization, such as SVRA, and take it to your physician to see if they would sign off on it given the two fractured vertebrae.
Good luck in your quest.

One of the things I will do, is to take race training. I was a pretty good go-kart racer and did ok on dirt ovals, but this is a whole new kettle of fish. I really want to work on stretching my capabilities. The way I see it, I am not going to get any younger, and this is my last shot to get this done.
