Yup... that's the shitty part of living in ND...
One "close" track, Brainerd International Raceway... 140 miles away.
Nest closest is MAM, and that's 440 miles.

well, that and a lot of straight flat regular roads...

I've only done one. I sucked at it. But all I can think about is getting back on the track.

I've got friends trying to get me interested in other things, but I tell them that I have an obsession and can't afford another one.

I'm met guys online that have quit riding on the streets and just do trackdays. I never understood it til I got out there.

ok... saying this as i have never been on the track

but...

i don't think i would ever give up street riding, for the sheer economics of it...
i mean 40 mpg vs 15 mpg... and way more fun... tough call.

i CAN see how once you've ridden the track, the street becomes less fun however...

I said that too. Now, I have two track bikes and nothing for the street except my car. I think it just depends on how much time you can afford out there. But, imho trackdays are still cheaper all around than law enforcement awards and a crash on the street.
