Chad has the most insightful post yet. If you have high expectations, then you need to be at the track for all available practice times. I also expected alot from myself. I was there every thursday and friday for years. I slowly but surely became faster than all my competitors. I noticed them start to practice more after the writing was on the wall, but it was too late!
At a race weekend, the amount of practice we get is a joke. It's nothing more than enough laps to make sure the bike is holding together. It's not really clean practice time.
