Racing is great. Your experience on the track is realized by few and the demand on the racer is appreciated even less. You road course cycle drivers are crazy to me. ;-)
I had a similar experience with a teacher only it was with an open wheel Indy type car. I either spun out or was out braked while down shifting.
Like you said, going into a corner from high speed, braking and down shifting while trying to pass is the greatest rush and rewarding fun I have experienced. Hitting the apex just right is a great feeling itself.
I learned first hand how demanding racing is on the body and mind. The one thing you can say about the sport of racing is, the drivers don't do drugs, it's way too demanding do to the length of concentration required and physical strength needed to finish.
