    What happened?

    I've been pacing since this morning. Don't really want to eat, can't focus on anything, extremely distracted...

    I'm sitting in my night class after work, sighing wistfully and staring off into space as the chemistry professor drones on and on...

    Absentmindedly doodling in the margins of my notebook I look down, and WTF! Am I tracing out some boy's name? No... Drawing hearts or ponies like a "proper" girl? Nope. For fuck's sake, its a diagram of Loudon! This is really what I'm pining for? Apparently. One track day, and I'm in love. Damn, how did this happen?

    NICE!
    We really nailed turns 6,7,8 towards the end of the day. Getting those turns to link up with one long smooth arc is NOT easy to do... especially on your first day!
    Way to go!!!

    Re: What happened?

    stupid fucking trackdays. I hate them so much. Last winter I said I wasn't gonna do too many trackdays this year. I was thinking 5, 6 at most. Headlight going out on the very first ride of the year led me to do 8 days and haven't ridden on the street since May. this has been the most fun trackday year so far and I've improved more than ever

    this ends up costing you a whole lot of money and you wonder where the hell it all went. then you think back and say to yourself "that was a good time I gotta go back again"

    This addiction only gets worse.... after a few seasons of track days you might find yourself doing the Penguin race school followed by LRRS...

    ...and then after a few years, you'll be back to doing only track days again.
