Grammar/ past or present tense

Could you tell me if it was ok to choose the tense I did? I always thought speed racing was exciting but couldn't watch it long because it's too dangerous. Should I have used because it was too dangerous instead? Can't we sometimes simply have our own preference?

The original sentence is okay. All the tenses in a sentence don't necessarily have to match each other. " I have never heard this term before.

The original sentence is okay. All the tenses in a sentence don't necessarily have to match each other. What I do question however is the term "speed racing." I have never heard this term before.

Yes, either is OK here because speed racing is still dangerous NOW. However, native speakers tend to regress the verb.

Thanks for your answer. I wrote another reply earlier but it was meant for someone else, I'm still getting use to this site.
