Guy at an autocross in Tulsa let me co-drive his Miata and I learned more in 3 runs than 2 years of solo practice
I blew a corner on my first run and he told me I was braking too early and turning in too late, then made me ride along while he did it right. He said the car would tell me everything I needed if I stopped fighting it, and by the third run I was 2 seconds faster. What is the best advice you ever got from a stranger at the track?
Why does it take a total stranger to point out what we keep doing wrong? Same thing happens at work and in relationships, we get so stuck in our own habits that we can't see the obvious anymore.
