+2.

And if I have to be somewhere by a certain time tomtom knows what time I need to set off and the cruise control sets the maximum speed.

A big part of why I don't go on runs in general anymore. I'm just not as interested since spending time on track.

I find that the more time I spend on track the less interest I have in driving hard on the road.

I agree also.

In fact, when I used to drive my car to and from the track, on my way home I'd often find myself wandering along 80 in a 100 zone. It was almost as though I was bathing in the warm afterglow of a good day on the track.

*^___^* my heart is so warm after reading this! (But as of Saturday I'm no longer a P-plater!)

I have been in the club for four years, having learned so much about driving and car control thanks to the track days, and making lifelong friends along the way. Thank you to all of my fellow (safe) drivers who have made this community so friendly and educational for me and for others.

Let's end this thread on this happy note.
