My experience is exactly the same. Once I started going to the track, I lost my taste for driving fast on public roads. A lot of my track friends feel the same way. I have a theory behind this phenomenon. Before I started going to the track, I had no avenue for my shenanigans so I took it to the streets. My driving skills were low, so I was pushing my limits and getting a rush at relatively sane (if stupid) speeds. Once I started doing track days, my skills improved and I needed to go way faster to get the same rush. Driving and cornering at the speeds necessary to get that rush is pure insanity on the street. Now I simply enjoy driving my Box S at reasonable speeds and have no desire to push the limits on the street.
