Well put David, just because a school is taught on a race track does not
mean it is a race school. The track offers the best environment for learning
because of the safe surroundings and the repeatable corners. I learned more
in twenty laps, by myself, on a race course than I learned in a year's time
on the street. Reason? because the environment allowed me to do things I
wouldn't try on the street. I can't wait to see what I can accomplish with
instruction on a track.
