I can understand the addiction to mod to be faster though. Everyone else is doing it and lap times become the benchmark.

I recently went back to street tires at the track and my street tire times are getting awfully close to my R comp times. That's far more rewarding to me (and better for my wallet).
yep - totally agree.

Rcomps + traction control = training wheels on a mountain bike

I should have said number of years PLUS advanced skills.

Besides, I don't really care for timing (sometimes I time just as a guage of where I am). Who doesn't like it when the car starts sliding around?
