Err I'm a long, long way away from that! haha. But man, I am hooked. I get out there and instantly feel like, yeah, this is it. I didn't get that feeling in SoCal or when I line up for a crit. I mean, yes, it's fun and exciting and cool and all that, but I never felt like, this is *it*. But the track... I even said to the Missus that if I lived near the track I'd be there for all the open sessions, I'd be racing there all the time... I'd live on the track. Well, one short effort at a time.
