You can tell when you've really got into racing when you spend more time in a month racing (or doing racing related things) versus working.
Last year, I was gone for various racing events for something like 60+ days (compacted into a February thru November schedule). This year is a time to relax, so I'll probably hit 10 days max.
BTW, I'll be at the Chumpcar race cheering you guys on!
