I did 2 days last week at 2 different tracks, and now I'm going through withdrawals.  I have another day scheduled for 6/20 but that's so far off.  I'm eyeing memorial day and considering going, even if I have to go alone.

I think I might have a problem. [laugh]

No Shit.  My IM window pops open daily with you pushing me to get out there with you.  And yes, it is normal.  And yes, I do need to get my ass to the track.

'tis true.  My scoot will be delivered to the shop by none other than Mr. Sqweak here next weekend so it won't be ready in time.  However, if anyone has an extra track bike laying around that they'd be willing to let me thrash around on, count me in. ;)

Done two dates this month already. 
Plan on doing another one for Memorial Day. 
Miniumum of two dates a month for the rest of the year, which I have written out in detail on my calender for all of the local tracks and track schools in my area.

So... no, you don't have a problem.  Anything less will be abnormal. 

Enjoyed your write-up on the CSS.  Welcome to the addiction.  ;D  [thumbsup]

I have the exact same problem...

I've been having these fantasies where I have my own racetrack and a house in the middle. I live there, ride my ducati's everyday...and you are all invited!

speaking of that, i read in some hollywood rag last month about how brad & angelina just bought some huge estate in france, near the riveria.  big deal you say.  reportedly this was a property they wanted to buy some time ago but this time brad finally got the approval he wanted to build something on the property. 

...you guessed it.  his own track.

I would _so_ live there...y'know, if it weren't in BFE Georgia and stuff.

Any one wanna go in on a paddock lot? ;D

I don't know $31K a year in association fees is pretty steep, you better be making stupid kinds of jack to live there.
All my best ideas get me into trouble.

I am reminded of the immortal words of Socrates when he said, 'I drank what?!'

Some people are like Slinkies ... Not really good for anything..... But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

the prime selling point is that the front straight can be used as a landing strip for your private jet and the lots (not houses, just the lots) start at about $675k...in rural georgia [roll]

I'd say your assessment is pretty fair ;D
