Wow! What an article. Must read for anyone thinking about racing. I'm fine going to see racing and enjoying trackdays.

Very interesting and I agree with 95%. I have a couple of friends that race and it eats holes in their pockets. I can definitely relate to the part where they talk about leaving the trackday early because you are absolutely drained. You have your fun and in the end you have to drive about 3,4,5 hrs home. Anything you HAVE to do is no longer fun, it is work! The grass is definitely greener on the other side.

I'm 44 and a mid level advanced rider. Guess I'll bin any racing aspirations.

I can totally relate to that read, my personality would have me living on the streets.lol I'm content with my 4 to 6 20min sessions once a month, well actually 3 to 4.

Racing on a motorcycle at 150 miles an hour with only inches between you and the guy next you trying to own the same peice of tarmack is PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
