Look, anyone can go around an oval (before you say anything, yes I know not all tracks are oval, but really, this is not F1 we're talking about) at high speed, that doesn't even take concentration. It amazes me what people see in NASCAR yawn! Ooh, a car going round and round chashing it's tail in an oval, that's soooooo exciting! NOT!

Negotiating a complex course and handling the dynamics of your car with fast reaction times requires skill and more importantly requires skills that are directly transferrable to driving on the road under real world conditions.

One would think that it would be a prerequisite of track driving that a new driver should have basic car control skills. I know if I were a DE instructor I'd hate to get into the car with a newbie without any assessment of their skills and without them having shown their capabilities in a situation like AX. It's basic common sense. Hmm... wasn't it recently that we lost a driver off the track on a corner at high speed? hmm? doesn't that prove my point about car control skills and knowing your car?

Please, don't come to me with the DE "more pious than thou attitiude", that just shows lack of thought and is trolling at it's worst. There's a place for DE and a place for AX and the two are totally compatible. In an ideal world they would be integrated and enrich each other. Hold on, to me that sounds like it should be a founding principle of the PCA... providing an environment where we can be educated to drive our cars with more skill. Wow. I'll have to remember to write that down, because obviously I have a concentration span of only 2 seconds. Amazing I ever got my Ph.D. Wink
