I met a lot of superb people in racing. Wayne Rainey. Kevin Schwantz, Hein Gerricke etc and a load of. superb mechanics. Mechanics and tuning being my thing back then. Went into the car industry after. Ran quality engineering departments. Did some design work. Got very frustrated with people being told to implement design faults into vehicles so left.
Making things faulty to cost people more was not my thing.
I left via email. 5 minutes before the end of my night shift. I said I will not be back.

They still keep asking me to go back.

When they stop making design faults on purpose I will. They will not. So that is the end of that chapter for me.
I am happy now. No phone calls in the middle of the day when I am sleeping after 11 hours at work at night. No calls when I am in the shower due to having a work phone. No working extra hours for free (go the extra mile logic) no hours in traffic to and from work. Happier and freedom. :-) Now I just restore 2 strokes and have been featured in magazines. That will do for me.
