Yeah, I've been trying to supplement my track time with a little autocross (hard to get the timing right though) and go-kating (all indoor so far because the good outdoor places are hard to get to when they have open sessions). Even with how little I've managed to get in of either I can tell immediately during the events just how much I am filling in skill gaps.
Its like a mental thunk as pieces fall together. The best part is that I get so much out of it now than when I tried it before because I have more basis due to on-track time. They really are complimentary motor sport activities.
