I am nice and kind with those who are nice and kind to me. The others should thank their lucky stars, because I am as Jack Reacher would say being gentle.
For those who may be interested in learning a little something about driving, I was indeed a PCA Driving Instructor. Also Autocross Instructor, and Driver Skills Instructor. Nowhere in any of that is the word, "racing". It is just a fact, and you could check it out.
Driving is as Bob Bondurant concisely stated the art of controlling weight transfer so as to maximize the functions of acceleration, braking, and cornering. Please note: the art of controlling weight transfer.
This is a main difference between driving and operating a motor vehicle. The operator of a motor vehicle thinks the car goes where he steers. The driver knows the car responds to the contact patch. Under hard cornering the car can actually be steered by throttle, which is why one of the skills we teach is called throttle steer.
Some of this instruction is done on a track. This confuses those easily confused. That is not a dig, just a fact. Those less hateful and genuinely interested in learning never have these misunderstandings.
When people say these things, deliberately ignoring essential words like "racing" I often wonder, how dumb do they think people are? But then I realize who they are writing for, and the question answers itself.
