Thanks to Dave Pilacky (ROUSCHAC) I decided to post this article that he sent me because there is some valuable information for everyone. In fact I may use excerpts in a Management and Leadership Seminar I will be conducting in July at our office: Check it out because it is definitely worth your reading time, even if you never get on a track!

Great article...and one of the truest points made was, "slow down to go fast". Concentration slows down time itself and allows for exact decision and action.

I tried to edit my spelling of "advise" to ADVICE".

I would add one thing to the advice in this excellent article: Expect the unexpected. Put another way, allow youself a way out! The last time I encountered such a situation was when a GT40 I was setting up to pass did a snap spin directly in front of me. I was looking at him eye to eye. It was the first time I ever locked up the brakes on the GT40.

Got off of them quickly and drove around the spinning car. It's always best to avoid collecting another car. Going off offcourse is second worse. Going bye under control is best , but staying alert to the unexpected is key.
