Go back and see the video of when he warmed up Capps’ car at Indy. If you can find the right version of that and read his lips and his body language, he was more than awestruck and not in a good way. F-bombs were dropped. and not the good ones. These were more “this is absolutely nuts”. He didn’t wanna do it again. I guess they’ve become so much more powerful these days that he is rather scared of it.
Edit to change spelling of f-bombs drooped to dropped. those were not droopy.

He said the same thing in the broadcast booth with Galvin yesterday. He has zero desire to drive one now not even a nostalgia.
With age comes wisdom?
How many of us think back about something we did and wondering, how did I survive those days.
I was riding in a 1965 Chevelle, Glendale, Calif, 1969. By friend Mike Martizez, Nam Vet, driving. Getting ready to turn left, when a drunk in a Corvair t-boned us. Knocked our car across the intersection. Not wearing seat belt, put my head into the windshield, big hole in windshield. No cuts, survived. Naw, I don't need no seat belt.....

Perspective is a curious thing. The same guy who fearlessly sat with his legs around a clutch and bellhousing that had no place being there (Jim Nicole, John Mulligan, Don Garlits) is terrified by a very safe(relatively) 11,000 hp nitro hemi warming up and thoroughly under control. I am still completely in awe of 60's era fuel drivers and their courage.
