Most people it seems don't stay in racing long-term. I'm in season
#3 , and I see tons of turnover. I'm wondering if I'm doing better not so much because I am better, but because the scene is getting worse. Tons of turnover in the Cat 3 and lower level.
I especially admire the guys who stay at it year after year despite never being on the podium, and actually never even sniffing it. They just enjoy the process.
