you guys should really try driving on a race track...
my favorite experience: craig stanton driving ketchep at WSIR on the worst possible street tires and passing everything on the track. all the while not being serious at all. he was helping me shake down my suspension settings so we drifting from T3 through T5 and passed a car while sideways drifting. tires screaming... most inspiring is when he hit 165 at the end of the back straight when full prepped race cars on rcomp slicks were only hitting 150ish (yes we passed them while craig was laughing and they were dead serious).
my other favorite situation would be on track again when i finally reel in someone that is extremely consistent and fast and i finally get the point by from them. challenging driver making me work hard, but very rewarding.
you guys with stories of being happy at 130ish going straight... try an hpde or autox and finally live at the edge won't cha?
