I agree. So many roads so little time.

Raced by Ken Miles being Sold at Mecum expected to sell for more than the BULLITT Movie Mustang.
very cool, F-1 is always very incredible cars.
This a cool driving video. A hellcat with an instructor teaching the guy his first time around. Fun watch.

Very good video.
After the instructor stopped telling him to keep his hands down they crept back up again...
Very good point about squeezing slowly coming out of turns.
They touched on that a lot and at the end the instructor says most people punch it too hard.
A good analogy is to compare turning on a light switch to turning up volume on music with an old time turn dial.
The light switch is instant on with no modulation.
That’s a bad way to accelerate out of a turn.
The volume button is a gradual increase.
That’s the right way to accelerate out of a turn.
The more the road straightens, the more accelerator can be applied.

Good comparisons there Marc. I never tracked a car before so it was cool to watch how calm the instructor was as well. He only grab the wheel a couple of times. Lol. Must need nerves of steel for that I would guess lol.
Yeah I know you have said that. Would be fun someday.

It is fun and you learn a lot.
All other daily stresses dissipate.
The world shrinks to you, the car and the track.
And my last line above, I should have explained slightly differently.
Instead of saying the more the road straightens the more accelerator can be applied.
I should have said the more your steering wheel is straight the more accelerator can be applied.
Almost the same but different also.
The steering wheel angle is the most important over road orientation.
