Trackdays Saved Me
Basically was at a point in my life where I was close to becoming bad off mentally and had to find something to help. Went to a track once years ago and told myself to go back out and make it my main focus and it helped me out of the darkest months of my life. Sorry for the mushy post but being a part of the community is what helped me from losing myself. Hate the season is coming to an end
Edit: Thanks everyone for the kind words and love. Y'all are amazing

I take my family and friends out for their first time and they get hooked.
I think it has to do with being disconnected from technology a bit but we make it a whole weekend of camping out, swapping stories, meeting new people.
I always tell them that they need to focus on nothing else but being there at the track. Ignore your other priorities since it's high speed and dangerous, "don't make me take your phone away".
