You're doing it wrong: common driver errors
 

The worst one that i see every day , is driving with one hand inside the steering wheel.
They wonder why they lose control if they slam on the brakes and the car slides.

You go to the track every day?

he didn't bother reading the article

I still think the most common error made by drivers is their not knowing how to properly adjust their side view mirrors. So many complain of blind spots when, mirrors properly adjusted, there are none.

Funny, I know that Sentra and it's driver. While it was heavily loaded there I'm not quite sure it was understeering :)

Brake release is key. I and others have mentioned release properties in brake pad discussions for that reason :thumbup:

This is the hardest concept for people to grasp, IMO.

people that stab the throttle during slaloms make me go \ O.o /

I saw that yesterday, it was a good read but not as in depth as I might have hoped. But all good things to keep in mind.

I've been working on the last part about braking for a long time. I find it fairly easy to look through the turn in the FRS (slower speeds) but when I'm doing 165 MPH into a 180 degree turn, fighting car control under braking, it's so difficult to look past your turn in! I get it right sometimes and it's magic :)

Where do I buy a set of these CF nuts?

"Here’s the way it’s supposed to work............. keeping that apex in your peripheral vision."
My problem (and its not just related to track driving) is that 'tho my peripheral vision is fine (that is, my eye sight works at the peripheries) my brain only concentrates on what I'm looking at directly. So if I'm looking through the cars' windows in front of me looking for brake lights up in front I might not be aware of the car directly in front of me slowing down. Another example, I'm looking (not glancing) at my revision mirror and my peripheral vision sees the car in front slowing down but I'm concentrating on my mirror so I'm not aware of the car in front. Just sitting at my monitor here, if I wiggle fingers at the sides of my head I have to concentrate on seeing my fingers and even tho the text is right in front of me I am no longer concentrating on the text but my moving fingers.
I don't find this to be much of a problem because I have taught my self to be constantly moving my field of view, that is don't stare at the one object for long but it makes the looking ahead at track a little tricky because if I'm looking a head I lose awareness of the track near by.
Advice would be welcome.


(Wow, long story)

I started a thread on this earlier, but this is the one I'm guilty of sometimes:
