I will return in all liklihood many times next year as the club needs a substitute track for Laguna Seca. This track is about 15 minutes closer to me, yet feels much further away. It is way out in the country while Laguna has a large wealthy city nearby.

On the way home I had one of those legal opportunities to stay at the limit while passing everybody driving in the left lane. It was an off ramp that takes you from one freeway to another, all with a 70 MPH limit. It was a long left hander so I could gas it all the way without fuel starvation striking. The little lady sat up stiff in her chair as she does not like these sorts of situations as I do.

When it was over I was pumped and I said "I love these moments"

And she said "I know you do."

Two more stories later. Back to work.
