Ya my coworker finally went to a track day after about a year of pestering from me. 
now he NEVER wants to go back due to all the bad luck,  he thinks he maybe got 30 minutes ? 
EMS hour delay,  a couple of tow outs , sand storm ending the day early.      
and i don't think his instructor pairing was right for either one of them.   ........  
it made me feel pretty bad that he had such a bad experience.  Wish i could have gone out to instruct, but hiring a baby sitter for a day and driving out there and back wasn't really in the budget (guess i could have ridden with him)   I did check to see if his sister would have baby sat but no dice.
......
But ya i would love to get out to at least 1 track day this year...    ah .. money to race.  some how it was a lot easier 2 years ago ..  when i was in a 2 income rental household with 2 incomes, zero kids, and a rising debt. 
now that i'm 1.5 incomes , mortgage ,  with baby,  and paying down my debt.   i don't seem to be able to spend cash like i used to ...  
  quick anyone on here an accountant ? what's going on ?
