Cool story bro! But you had to sacrifice some awseome wrestling moments for racing. Hope you recorded it so you didn't miss 20 minutes of it!
It might be that guy, but I still remember I was racing with one person on the course Sunshine Airport because I thought I was excellent at that but i'm not. And when we picked it he kept beating me, I couldn't catch up to him because he was SO FAST! No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't frontrun.

But I didn't give up! ^-^
Here's my opinion to Firehopping:
"**** FIREHOPPING! I tried it but I can't build speed from it, so I choose bikes instead. I know you can still firehop if you choose out drift bikes but I don't do it either."
