I do ride bikes and before going taking up Motorcylce Road Racing I used to ride like a lunatic. I had this lovely habit of using the pipes on my RD350 to lever the rear tire slightly of the ground so I could slide the bike into corners , about the instant the thing would try to high side I'd roll on the throttle and rocket out of the corner. This a great technique for turn 5 at Willow or the tower turn at Firebird but it was reeeealy dumb on public roads.
So G-Love I understand being 25 and a motor head but..... Phoenix has three tracks. Arizona Motorsports Park has several track days $150 and you can run your street car. The Arizona Region of SCCA has a strong Autocross program. All you need for either event is a helmet and the entry fee. The other downer about street racing is most of the people doing this are not the best drivers. Do not mean to seem arrogant but when you run on a track you just get so much more time than you can imagine. At a typical SCCA club race event I'll get 45 laps a day . Think about it , on a 9 turn road course that is 405 corners a day all taken at WFO speeds. Plus you quickly find any weakness in your technique becuase you are out there with 35-40 other drivers some of whom have been doing this for 25 years. 6 races a year X 25 x 405 corners= 60,750 corners - you get the picture.

Have fun be Safe
