Where should I start?

You can ride and ride and ride and do the same thing that you've done...done wrong...and you'll just reinforce things.  

I know you've said this before, as have I, but I do want to point out that this could be the most profound statement ever made...

Practice does not make perfect unless you're practicing perfection...

This could explain why I keep crashing and burning with the ladies! ;D

Dave, Are you really racing the 200 this March? I was thinking about doing it as well, but I have never ridden Daytona.. So i'm not sure plus it would be an expensive weekend....

So, your alternative is to vacuum a older, balding man's house and...

Well, if you're crashing and burning with the ladies, T... :P

It's my plan.  Was going to do it in 2005, but that burned down.  Did win two races there anyway on a little bike.

It's a lot bigger than a weekend.  

My take on Daytona.

I was asked to ride a vintage bike at Daytona for this guy...  http://worldmotorcycles.com/Pages/daytona.html

He was pretty confident, and I had a good feeling about it, but I told him point blank, "Daytona sucks...unless you win.  Even then..."

Took three tries for us to finally get a win, then we got two.  Took me eleven years of going to get my win, so he had it easy.

A wise sponsor told me once, "Daytona isn't necessarily about winning, it IS about being there.  You have to try."

The track is different now.  Don't know what it's like on a decent production bike.  Pretty slow on a 125 in the infield, I know that.
