I guess I am the only one at a sanctioned track.
Not even any street racers?

Have been autocrossing and HPDE days and instructing for years for various clubs. Got my competition license through NASA at one point, built a racecar and never did anything with it. Did some hill climb racing as well. That's the epitome of "crazy". Racing on public roads tagged at 35-45MPH at over 140mph in some cases. "Balls of steel" I did fairly well and usually won my class and it was tons of fun.. but super dangerous. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

There are very few of us on this forum.
Thanks you for your update. A guy that is a true racer has balls of steel.
That is one reason why there are few women in the sport.
You have a good resume.
