I used to go to the track a few times a month. But when the car gets to a certain point, it starts to feel more like work, then going to the track and having fun.

Also, the tracks locally have been on a decline for years. They aren't making money, so they are putting less money into the tracks, less prep. Their give a fuck factor seems to be really low allowing the street cars on street tires to run with the prepped cars fucking up the surface. It's just a mess and not worth the hassle anymore.
