[QUOTE="Mr.Corvette, post: 308870, member: 6760"] Jack, the race track is where you learn the skills to prevent this from happening. They teach you visual scanning to look ahead where you want the car to go next. You learn the turn in point, how to use the apex and how to exit a corner with the proper unwind before you get on the gas. Had he been trained he would have known to use his side windows and look where he wanted to go, not just hanging on and destroying David's Grand Sport. We entered corners at over 70 mph and had this guy learned the proper turn in point to the corner and how to smoothly turn the wheel, and how to balance the car with light brake pressure during the initial turn-in as this keeps the weight on the front of the car for balance and grip, it never would have happened. The guy who hit David's car panicked because he didn't know what to do. More than 99% of the people that buy Corvettes can't drive them anywhere near there capability, and about the same percentage don't go to any type of owner's or racing school to actually learn about the capabilities of the car. I just got invited today to return to do the level 2 advanced school. I can tell from the response to this thread there is little interest here and that's unfortunate as people don't know what they are missing by not going to this school! [/QUOTE]
