Default Driving Schools

Nantucket you are so right on, we see so many people with "Huge HP" in the DFW area and 95% haven't a clue on how to drive. I really enjoy taking a car with 150 less HP on a road course and walking away from other cars in the twisties lap after lap while running street tires and the big HP boys are on racing slicks. I have to tell you, we have a lady in our DFW group that does come to the track ever chance she gets and my money is on her any day, because she practices. High performance driving needs to be practiced as often as possible. I guess it's one of the things I will never understand, owning a HP car and not being able to drive it to the limit. (except 50 feet at a time). Drivers find a local school in your area and go play, you don't have to go any faster than you are comfortable. Most track day events have instruction, get some. And then when you get into a situation on track or off, your talent gauge will not be OUT. db
