Wanna Race Really???

So what you're saying is, I should keep on trucking until I get injured, can no longer afford it, or aren't having fun anymore.

or just stop now

Did the dude that smoked the entire Penguin School in the rain read this?

Should be required reading for all 'fast' trackday riders.

Just read it now. I'm already addicted, and like Layne Staley once said in the AIC song Junkhead:
"What's my drug of choice?
Well, what have you got?
I don't go broke
And i do it a lot"!

Seriously though, I think this article is pretty accurate. I made myself aware of most of these points before I decided to make the commitment. Just like playing in a band. You pay to play. And with more than just your money! I try not to dwell on the downer sides of racing. I could care less about the money, and Racing also has many positive attributes like exercise, getting the kids involved in something cool and healthy, the cameraderie, and just pure fun. The competition aspect can also be healthy, if the rider has a decent head on his/her shoulders. I pretty much came into this thinking like, I don't really care if I win races, I'm 32 and spent all my youth riding dirtbikes, playing guitars, and partying so I know it's not going anywhere serious. For some reason though, now that I'm older(and sober), and can afford it, RoadRacing is just calling me. When I rode Loudon for the first time, I just knew... This is what is meant to be.

Reced until I got sick of others running into me. FOr example taking corner 3 too hot and decided to go straight through the tires in front of the rest of us (that actually knew how to lean over the bike to take corners) clipping the font tire.
