Thank you Ron! That's a great story. So I'm not so crazy after all. : )

Fifteen years ago or so I sold a Honda CRX Si to a guy who came to pick it
up in a race trailer. I asked him what he was going to do with it and he
said he would strip it down, install a roll cage, do some engine mods, and
rent it out to guys who wanted to race on the weekends at Wolf Ledges, a
local track. My car was going to be the fifth in his stable. He offered me
a chance to drive it on the track and I never took him up on it.... Big
mistake, in hindsight. It would have been a lot of fun. He was a Honda
mechanic and I guess it turned out to be quite a business for him. I went to
his shop one time and he was looking at buying a semi to move the cars.
State Troopers said he was overloading his dually pickup hauling them around.
Lots of Doctor, Lawyer, professional types want to try weekend racing,
without the burden of actually buying and maintaining the car.
