I second that emotion

I was a dual major math / philosophy, so only a little bit of this makes sense on paper to me. but based on what I've felt in a car, this stuff is SPOT ON!

This guy reminds me of Brian Greene....my current favorite astrophysicist...for the same reason...I actually understand a small portion of what he says.

Does me no good, "slow in fast out" WTH, I just mastered the really fast in, brake hard (twice) then hit the gas a little, let off, hit the gas hard again and exit sideways. I am not going to learn a whole other way when I have this one perfected

Isn't that the way we're supposed to drive?

lol, dude my instructor at the track day must have said "slow in, fast out" to me 100 times that day. That and throttle, throttle, throttle lol. as a track noob i never really thought about steering with more throttle than wheel input. i don know once you learn that, it feels really cool but my brain told me for the first two sessions if i didn't turn that wheel i would die.

As an instructor, I usually use 'Brake, brake, brake' and 'Gas, gas, gas'. Unfortunately, one of my 'students' didn't hear the 'gah' part of 'gas' and I received a reprimand.

Throttle just doesn't roll off the tongue as easily....

Sad thing is it would not be funny if it were not true Learning this is my next big changing, the fact I have stayed on the track up to now is a testament to how well the Boss handles out there. I plan to practice this at a fast track this weekend and learn some more at Miller.

The learning curve is a wonderful thing, my main goal of having fun has worked out however the more I learn the more I scare myself sometimes.

Ah yes the 21st Century version of bench racing.

Dave thanks for the link. It will give me something to read on the plane when I travel to MMP later in the month.
