It's bad enough to embarrass yourself by losing control on a public street, but you'd never forgive yourself if you let your ego injure someone else.

The class isn't about how to drive high performance on the street. It's about learning what to do when the inevitable Cobra rear end scoots out from under while turning left at an intersection. In particular, Bondurant's class (the 3 or 4 day one) spent half a day on the skid pad.
