In this “explainer” video, I illustrate why driving smoothly improves traction using a concept I call the Traction Unit Number. It’s all about weight transfer, load on your tires, and balance. Check it out.
HPDE (High Performance Driver Education) instructors… share personal experiences so students relate with you. But don’t relate too many mistakes; nor should you brag.
Use your street driving to make you a better track driver – legally! Program the “right” techniques on the street. Practice.

The speed at which you turn your steering wheel depends on the type of corner you’re driving through, as I explain in this Speed Secrets Quick Tip. Some corners require a quick/crisp turn of the wheel, while others need a slow “bending in” of the wheel. In my driver coaching and instructing, I see too many high performance drivers and race drivers of all levels who turn the steering wheel at the same rate, no matter what type of corner they’re driving. You have to adapt and adjust, depending on the corner (oh, and car).
