Salazar says he's back up to speed.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
MIAMI _ Eliseo Salazar will concede that too many plates and screws holding together too many bones, with too much hospital ``sheet time'' factored, had forced him to loosely map the end of his quarter-century in fast cars.
But that was then, in 1998, after three serious crashes in three years. This is now.
``I don't want to retire ever,'' the gregarious 45-year-old Chilean said last week.
Life at speed is good.
So's life at leisure.
Never in his career, Salazar believes, has he been so well-equipped to win. Never has he approached a race that felt more like ``home'' than the one upcoming. And to top all that, wife Kari is expecting their first child, Eliseo VI, next month.
Salazar, not only driving for racing legend A.J. Foyt but now sporting Foyt's famous No. 14, sees next Sunday's Infiniti Grand Prix of Miami at Homestead as ``one of the most special races for me of all time.''
