Geez, so my planned career path is probably a bust?

I know it doesn't make sense, but when you get behind a wheel you  
race. End of story. I honestly never have really understood this eight  
tenths stuff. Sure, we don't jam our cars into a chicane five across  
and get all chesty, and we back off rather than make that low- 
percentage pass that would be just part of the game even in your basic  
SCCA regional race, but we still all push it, and try to pick up a  
little more mid corner speed in that long sweeper, event though the  
car is bucking a little and the back end is stepping out.

I'm KNOW there's some people out there that don't think of winning,  
they think about their car's history, and they just enjoy being on the  
track. I know because I usually lap them, sometimes several times.  
It's not a parade. I don't drive it that way, and neither do the vast  
majority of the people I know.
