Keith's right -- the concept of a familiarisation run (a/k/a "Old Lady Run) after a long hiatus is a fine idea. Don't worry, you'll get plenty of runs in. Don't worry, you DO NOT get extra points for setting a record on the first run of your season.
By the way, Mr. Deezhul PM'd me to ask me to go through the inspection checklist for him online -- which, while it might not give him any pointers about what he missed, was a good run-through to get me thinking about getting back up to speed. Thanks for the opportunity.
