[Land-speed] driver skills

[rex svoboda]

If we want to continue driving race vehicles late into life we must .... 
practice, practice and practice.  Anything to keep the reflexes as sharp 
as age will let them be has to be good.  More important practice at the 
limits of control to keep mental judgment from rusting.   Many 
opportunities exist: autocross, driving schools, motorcycles, 
snowmobiles, lawn mowers, skiing (?)- this is America we will race 
anything.   My limited experience tells me that Bonneville high speed 
driving requires a sensitivity to the smallest bit of  vehicle feedback 
and quick mental judgment to make the right decision.  We can cross 
train for this all year long.
hoping to keep at it for a while   Rex
