Has anyone come across any studies or articles on the topic of vestibular stimulation triggering manic episodes?

I just know whether I am manic or hypomanic I love to drive fast. I like fast take offs and get pulled over sometimes, but usually the cop just yells at me and doesn't give me a ticket...don't know what's up with that. I also love to go to the races, circle track. I caught myself racing the train the other day but slowed down and thought I'm just too darn old for this!
I haven't tried to induce mania by purposely going fast. I guess it's something to think about if I feel myself start to go down.
