Car Control-How is it taught?

[Racingswh]

Great posts Todd and Brian.  I remember a vid from Larry in his 911 in the rain at Road Atlanta.  Car steps out big to the left and you know in the car it was way bigger than in the vid.  He just catches it and keeps racing.  No big deal.  That's feel, instinct, muscle memory ect.

All of us here reading about this and following this thread "get it".  We all know at least what we want to learn and why we want to learn it.  Some of us have developed skill sets that are far greater than others of us but in the end we all have a pretty good understanding of vehicle dynamics.

So it sounds like AX (Is it ok to just "mow down" the cones after the car starts sliding?), driving in the rain, seat time, karting possibly and my favorite "Ice Racing" are the ways for beginners to develop car control skills.  Alain Prost says +1 for Ice Racing as well! 

I will get Dad to try the first 4.  We'll see if he can AX competently before we get him out on the ice.
