Ha ha! You're a wuss! LOL!
Naah, just kidding! Seriously, Tony, it's very common. That's one of the cool things about getting on the race track. Not only do you get to do things with your bike that you could never get away with on the street, you also end up toning down your street riding, which tends to preserve your longevity in this world.
When I started racing, it didn't take long to realize that there's not much point in pushing the limits on the street, because: a) It's dangerous and stupid, and b) No matter how fast you think you can ride on the street, you're really going nowhere near racetrack speed.
Another benefit: As you gain more track experience, you will start noticing that you can go as fast, or faster, on the street than ever before, but it'll be easier to do it, with less effort. Your non-track-riding friends will be amazed and jealous. You'll start waxing them without even breaking a sweat.
So, in other words, what you're going through is normal. It is a good thing!
