Just aged-out of it, really. I'd done all that I'd wanted to with time-trialing, driving, and instructing. I'm in my mid-70s now and knew before I bought the car in 2018 that I would only do a few events, mostly for old-times sake.

My first track experience was on a built street bike in the late 60s. That lasted a couple of years. I went back to it with cars from 2009-2013, averaging 25-30 days each year. I was old enough that falling off bikes at speed was no longer an option. A bike would have been dramatically less expensive, though.

Most of the car driving was in the E36 race car – an all-out professional build Cup car that won a pro-am championship in, IIRC, 1996 or 1997.
