Just left the sport without an official announcement of retirement?
Good point Jason. I was thinking someone who had such a status as James. No offence at all to you or Tyler.

Talk about how you decided to hang it up.
I won my championship in 1988. I felt like I was the fastest guy out there, and my contract with Honda renewed again for ’89. I wanted to defend that championship and get another one but my shoulder went bad in Ohio. I had a a lot problems with that shoulder. In 1989, I came out and was leading the points but then got hurt in Ohio at Kenworthy's. I came back towards the end but was already behind in the points. My last-ever race was at Steel City back in Pennsylvania, and I was pulling away from everyone. I somehow high-sided and again hurt my shoulder, and that was it. I decided it was time to retire with that crash.
I was so burned out there at the end. Since I was 16, all I did was fly back East and stay in hotels. When I left, I didn’t want to travel and didn’t want to fly, so when it was over, it was over. I was done. Even now, I don’t even like to fly if I don’t have to.
