[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10585224, member: 11681"] Good point! The competency level of even an above average driver in a southern snow-less state is not very good with regard specifically to [B]car control[/B]. Most people down here just do not know what to do if the car slides even a little bit. High powered rear drive cars will slide a little bit when they lose traction and spin, spinning on the street is super common. They either don't correct enough, don't correct at all, or over correct, and unfortunately this is a very common problem. There are no slippery conditions to practice in so the corrective action has not been practiced to the point it is a now a nearly instant reaction [B]instead of a thought of correction.[/B] [B][SIZE="3"]I'm sure there are also plenty of drivers in snowy states that have poor car control too, but it seems to be worse down here.[/SIZE][/B] I'm 58, currently no marks on my licence(a rare thing, transplant kept me off the streets for a while), and Texas has some severe penalties for street racing. So I don't. I do use WOT in selected areas I think I can do it safely and not get nabbed, but lining up with another car and going at it on the street is just not worth the risk for what little brief rush it might provide. I get my rock off at track events and that adrenalin rush literally lasts for YEARS, as far as satisfying my urge to ROCK OUT! [/QUOTE]
