Car Control-How is it taught?

[AMoore]

I was fortunate. the first time I felt my car get considerably loose was at Pocono North, in the infield part of the course (turns 3 and 4).  After accidentally inducing too much oversteer, I began to do it on purpose and practice catching it before getting sideways.  We were taught this in class but it only becomes second nature if it is actually practiced. It helped that I was using street tires.   I am not an instructor; thus, I am not recommending this conduct, but it certainly helped me.  I learned more about driving on that day than all my my other DE days combined.
