| 0:12.0 | Pretty much every single race besides one, I won by over two seconds. |
| 0:17.0 | That's crazy. |
| 0:18.0 | And then the one race was my comeback race. It was five-tenths or something. |
| 0:27.5 | And that season is like the worst thing that happened to me because it set everyone's expectations that I was now going to win every race by over two seconds for the rest of my |
