Which is why I look at the Q-club track junkies that spend thousands to go
"Fast" in their street car when they could go racing for what they spent on
their "All out track machine"

People have asked me why I don't take my car to the track more often and
when I tell them that Street cars on race tracks bore me they look at me
like I'm nuts. Having raced for a living in purpose built RACEcars there is
no going back.
