So Sticks&String’s thread got me to thinking, have any of you ever had any closed course high speed driving training?
In his post, he talked about driving really quickly on the highway in order to get to a hospital. At some point, just about all of us have had to drive at a high rate of speed due to a medical emergency. So, who has done high speed driving on a closed course, with an instructor, in order to know how a vehicle reacts at high speeds, thus making it safer(not safe) for you to go those higher speeds?
Im not advocating for people to break the law driving at really high speeds, I’m just curious as to how many people here know how to handle a vehicle at high speeds.
Personally, I took part in multiple NASA driving events, who knows how many high speed autocross events outside of Mineral Wells, was a BMW club driving instructor for a short period of time, and in 2004 I drove the fastest privately owned SRT4 at the SRT National meet. My reflexes are not as good as what they once were though so my days of high speed driving are pretty much over.
