Can't steer a sliding tire, that's what antilock brakes are for, they keep lesser drivers alive longer. Watched a kid total a 240Z once at an Auto-X event because he panicked and locked the brakes and skid nose first into a light pole with the wheels turned the whole way. They don't even teach brake modulation in mortal driving school do they?

Can't steer a sliding tire, that's what antilock brakes are for, they keep lesser drivers alive longer. Watched a kid total a 280Z once at an Auto-X event because he panicked and locked the brakes and skid nose first into a light pole with the wheels turned the whole way. They don't even teach brake modulation in mortal driving school do they?

Not so much even 23 years ago.  In the aforementioned near miss, I was kind of impressed to see that my skid marks, while continuous, varied from dark on the straight parts to almost nonexistent at maximum turn, then dark again on straightening out, then light again once I was clear of the danger zone and just wanted to get stopped ASAP.  I was still a bit heavy, but definitely modulating based on whether I was skidding the way I wanted to go or not.

Everyone should take their kids to a local SCCA Auto-X and let them safely learn REAL driving at the limit in their street cars. We used to offer schools for members and non-members for a Very reasonable entry fee. You make that first run and think you're doing well and then someone else in the same, or even YOUR car, beats your time by Miles! Very humbling and eye opening.

This is the same course and the same day that kid totaled his 240Z!
