The other thing is that if you base happiness on competing, you can only be happy if you are the winner. Unless there is something I don't know, you are not even in the running in the world of MC racing. I always assumed that it's something you do for fun, which is great if it makes you happy.

I have definite OCD and have wasted too much time on hobbies in this life. I've been to Willow Springs a few times with my street car and it's fun. You see the rich guys with better cars who can afford to go as often as they like or get into some club racing. I thought about it and decided that I would never want to get into that hobby. You only have so much time on this earth and that hobby will consume all of it. If not rich, you will spend a ton of time working for the $$ to pay for it and the rest at the track or towing a car around the country. I feel the same way about golf, FWIW. So many things I'd rather be doing.

I have close friends and cousins with almost unlimited bank accounts who have gotten into hobbies or competitive events 100%. Two of my cousins were world champion freestyle skiers, one of them was completely unbeatable for the entire time he competed. Their entire family is absolutely obsessed with competing in everything they do. I have no idea whether it makes them happy, it gives me a headache just to think about it...
