I went to the four day Bondurant school. The first two days were in a corvette. The school forbade the stability management system to be turned off. As a result, I do not think I learned very much except the wierd sounds the car made when it was trying to keep you from driving the car at anything remotely near slip. A waste of time and money imho.
The second two days were in formula fords. Now THAT was a learning experience. The definition of seat of the pants driving, and a good lesson on how much quicker you can drive using finesse and smoothness. To drive those little guys with anything else is an agricultural experience, but get it right, and they are quick.
At our DE's in the Mid South Region we try to discourage the use of PSM, but this is only an advisement. A lot of the drivers, especially the newer ones, want to keep it on for the secutiry. Oh well.
