I still would like to have a flat 6 though. Reverting the car is a non-starter now that it has a welded full cage in it. Point of no return was probably when I went to f/g. The good thing is my last event was Infineon where I won my class on both Saturday and Sunday. And the Sunday race I passed in turn 10 of the last lap to pull off the win. The highlight though was winning at Laguna Seca, beating a 6 car class field. So the memories are sweet.
Then there was the accident at Infineon that almost killed one of our guys, and another one at Vegas this last event where a guy hit some oil and was a passenger, slamming the wall. I dodged one bullet on the Duc. I figure I went three clean seasons...that's enough for now.

I know exactly what you mean. After my car got hit and it was fixed. I looked back at how much money and TIME I spent.
Honestly I think that's why I've been enjoying motorcycles so much. I get up early in the morning go on a nice ride and I get almost that same adrenalin rush I did at the track and it's just so much less consuming. Luckily, my car is still streetable and looks good, so I can still enjoy it. Hear lately though, I've really been thinking about a 993RS look for a DD.
