Race
We got a schooling outfit out right now that starts kids out at an very early age racing one another, they call themselves Quarter Midgets or .25 Midgets or whatever. They start parking them kids early in life for the smallest transgression and by the time they get into bigger cars racing right is second nature to them. Strapping a teenage kid in a big race car and saying have at it isn't the best policy now days, especially if dad was not a racer with a little insight and or he can't afford a coach for the kid.
These race cars are a lot different now than in the past, they practical drive them selves. You can take a newbie up to Kentucky Speedway and in a few laps they are up to 150MPH, but that don't make them Tony Stewart. It doesn't take much smarts to make them go fast but it does takes a lot of smarts for them to really race.
It would be nice if some sort of mandatory training be required for all racers, It wouldn't be cool if your buddies with experience saw you taking a class, but if everyone had to take the class, no one would know and maybe the experienced guys might remember something also.
If you get a chance watch this video about Quarter Midget Judging >>Can you envision any future Dave Darland's out there just starting out. This is the reason so many of these kids go on to bigger and better things. It doesn't start getting good until about 15 min into the clip.
