If you think you are wonderfully "hooked" now, wait till your first successful pass on the salt. You will become a SALT JUNKY like the rest of us that have been going for any number of years.
After following what you have done and are about to do, it is pretty obvious that racing on the salt is not just a bucket list item.
ENJOY, and savor the results of your efforts.
All my best wishes for a great week.
