Haha, I must have read this late, really don't care what I missed. Ya, I went down on a nice bike, either way, it was on a track, riding balls to the wall. If I own something, my show/race car, my truck, my bike, etc. Im going to run it hard. It's not going to sit and collect dust, it's not going to be all show no go. Whats the point? I do regret not having a backup bike or track bike, but thats all in time, I do not however regret going down on my beauty. It was going to happen on something, might as well have been that one. And as for riding on the st vs the track. If you've never rode track, just stop now, it's nothing similar period. I'll be back up and ready whenever my body work gets done, and I ll still be tracking next season, just a different bike. BUT I ll still be running the piss out of my RC too, just different occasions. I wish I would have read the whole thread, before this one, but oh well. If I were anyone who's reading this I would def. be out riding if I could, get off the net and get some miles on.
