I'd probably say tighter turns. I'm okay and have improved a lot over the past couple of years but I still have trust issues with my bike and physics. I know in my head it will be okay, but I don't trust the physics.

Turns. I can go fast in a straight line since all you have to do is twist and hold on, its those turns that are tricky.

Having had my own close encounter with bambi, I've equipped both bikes with one of these Deer Whistle

The deer usually notice the whistle, and do a pretty good job going the other way. But nothing will save you at 100 mph, ymmv, blah, blah, blah.

Overall confidence in my skills and my bike. I don't get to practice my technique enough to really feel like I can progress beyond the plateau I've been at the last year or so (basically since the last time I made it to the track).

Everything. I've been super sloppy and completely unsmooth on my first 100 miles of the year.

Running the track as it was designed. I tend to explore all areas of the property.
