I'll soon be 72 years of age, and my skills have begun to diminish. Not driving much doesn't help with that - when I was doing this regularly I was at the track a good forty days each season, and my skills were always pretty sharp. I was also doing regular car control work in the summer and winter during those years.

I've done everything I've wanted to do with this hobby, sparing no expense along the way. Mostly, I drove the E36 shown below, a 2:00 car at the Glen. I really miss the sharpness of a pro-built race car. Here's a lap in the E36 shot during aero testing at the Glen: https://youtu.be/NMdnioBa0E0.

Before I hang the helmet up, I'm going to a David Murry Track Days open-lapping event at the Glen, my favorite track: http://www.davidmurry.com/event-regi...-international.
