David, Not to overstate things, but YOU BET YOUR A** IT IS. I can say that
to you because you actually HAVE put yours on the line. David I raced
motorcycles, and everything you said is squared on motorcycles! The first
time you roadrace on slicks is a revelation. Get your plane repaired BEFORE
you buy the car if possible. The racing bug is pretty all consuming. If you
thought driving a high end street car was amazing a purpose built formula
car or sports racer can be totally unearthly. I used to build D and C sports
racers. (kind of like a mini 2/3 scale can-am Maclaren) I got the chance to
drive one on a practice day at Sears Point. The response to any input is
simply amazing. Lateral grip rib threatening, and braking takes place so
late that you'll see Jesus so many times you will start using him as a
braking marker! An outside pass of a top competitor is almost better than
sex. (Don't tell the wife) Lastly congrats to Nicky Hayden the latest
American Moto F1 world champion.
