and eventually produce flowers,

2040
01:06
and we like watching cars race on the race track,
24
66300
3210
01:09
and when we do that,
25
69510
1020
01:10
it is something that you would describe
26
70530
2130
01:12
as saying that I get a rush out of it.
27
72660
3150
01:15
So when I go to the race track,
28
75810
2660
01:18
I get a rush out of watching the cars race around the track.

30
82480
3860
01:26
when I was younger,

1070
01:27
but for the last 10 years, I have been a car racing fanatic,
32

and when I watch a car race, I get a rush out of it.

100600
2850
01:43
it's probably is even more excitement
37
