You are fortunate to have such a nice track open for you. We have track days which is held at different tracks. Still, the closest one to me is over 125 miles away. I haven't been to one...yet.. But I still have some of the best twisty roads in the US within 20 miles. Car and bike enthusiast alike come to these roads from long distances.
Variation on a theme. What are your other passions in life?
My family and friends are my lifelong passion. Next in line would come things that are more subjective and personal choices, like high end audio.
My interests are varied enough that I would think of them in no particular order.
Sports cars and Formula racing, I have had some good ones, especially my time at Road America.
Fine dining. From Madison and Iowa City, to NYC, Chicago, Kobenhavn and more.
Art of many types and more towards modern era art and many artists that I appreciate and the ones I can afford to own. My visits to MOMA and the museum in Humlebaek, Denmark are, and will always be, lifelong memories.
Architecture and interior design, esp. modern from the Bauhaus on, Marcel Breuer etc..
High end audio, but with the pursuit is tempered by live performances. (Jazz and female vocals)
Nature and the out of doors. Esp. biking in Door County, Wi.
Door County, Wi. Yes the little towns are a bit commercial but the wonder and magic of Door County is still there, just
not in the touristy things.....as in miniature golf and the bad art galleries....and there are great art galleries as well, like Edgewood Orchard.
The locals, if you search you will find 3rd and 4th generation residents.
The opposite of local is a bus full of white hairs taking photos of the goats on Al Johnson’s roof.
My three best friends have all passed, but we all shared a love of Door County, one of them was my best man at the Fish Creek Community Church.
This is way of the audio interest side, but if you are able and can afford it, the driving courses at Road America would/could be a very, very good gift to yourself. That course has paid off for me twice since I took it, but not in racing but accident avoidance.
I know this is not dead on an audio topic, but all the audiophiles (or is that audio nerds) I have known have other passions/interests. One of the best examples was head of nuclear medicine at a Big Ten University hospital, and on a trip together we visited MOMA, other art museums and ate at well respected restaurants including Windows on the
World which was at the top of one of the twin towers that were destroyed on 9/11.
