The 80's .....
In the early 80s on a cold November night (I think November, it was almost 30 years ago) we loaded up the the go-karts to race.
My friends mom was sick, and our girlfriends were really ripping into us for racing at such a time, but we still loaded up and headed to the track.
It was a good 45 minutes to the track, and really cold. When got to the track, nobody was there, races cancelled due to the weather.
Of course when got back to the friends house, the story for the ladies was "our hearts just wasn't into racing that night, because it just wasn't the right to be racing while the friends mom was sick ".
BTW, The friends mom is still alive and well.
