As an aside, have you done a lot of track riding? Just curious.
A. I am a teacher, and we don't end school till the following week, otherwise I'd love to come down and meet and ride with all the crazies. Besides, you're really not missing much; I'm an old, slow, grey fuddy-duddy who happens to live, eat ,sleep and breath bikes...thassall.

B. In my youth, I used to crash at a lot of club races....we didn't have trackdays and schools...the novices got to take a lap around the track with one of the licensed racers, we pulled off into the hot pit, and then got waved back out for a 20 minute practice. If you survived, you got to grid and race.

Crashed a few times, spent a lot of money and had a good time, learned a lot of what not to do. Never was very fast, and now that I'm more experienced, I'm too old to let it all hang out.

Call me a slow learner.
