Like I always tell my students, "Before you know it, you'll be wishing you could shoot this feeling straight into your veins."
Welcome to our addiction! ;D

I hear ya...  I get to where I want the season to be over, and then  all of a sudden it is...  

My fix then has turned to ice...  Then I wait & pray for the ice to freeze...  It's sick I tell ya.

That is great! I love reading Peter Egan, I wait patiently every month to read his column.

I don't think its just racing that I'm addicted to myself. It's motorcycles in general. I'm hooked, sick, I love them. I just bought another Flat Track Bike, and I have a set of ice tires to I sometimes wonder if its a good thing or a bad thing that I got into motorcycles. Alot of ups and downs.

Just as long as I can make the mortagage payment, and pay my bills I guess I'm doing OK.

JUST A TIP FOR THE NEW PEOPLE COMING INTO THIS! RACE ON CASH ONLY!!!! DON'T RACE ON CREDIT CARDS! IF YOU HAVE THE CASH GO! IF NOT, BE STRONG AND HOLD OUT!

And remember this too, family comes before racing, never put racing in the way of your loved ones!

An even wiser man once said "never put off what you can buy today because your credit might not be so good tomorrow"

+1.  I've managed to pay cash, but my original budget for the year is totally blown.
