I figured you didn't mean an actual career
to me it meant those that are able to go several times a year. With my current job I'll probably be able to do a few track days a year. eg: for 2019 the goal is 2 back to back days at Mid O, and if I have enough cash, 2 back to back at Palmer. So, just here and there for a bit of fun.

DannoXYZ I didn't mind riding in the rain the first time I went out in it. It was only a light rain, though. I'll build up my skills a bit before I try going out in heavier rain. I had been thinking to go out on dry days during the winter, but it's cold and I don't want the salt on my girl.
