I am replacing my rear wheel bearings due to wear (loud cyclical humming noise when loaded in a corner) after about 50 track days + 5K freeway miles to/from the track. Oh, this also probably included putting two wheels off into the dirt a handful of times.

Is this typical track wheel bearing life expectency? Anyone else care to share their experience with wheel bearings and track days?
