It's a two sided coin, if we don't get the driver education right, then it could turn very bad. You teach them how to control themselves in an emergency in the car and recover, they're going to think they're invincable.
You give them tracks, skid pans etc, they'll self teach thmselves to be invincable and could potionally use both the streets and track anyway. I'm still a P-Plater within Victoria and I can honestly say, the Power to Weight Ratio, or blanket ban on V8s doesn't stop us! We simply do our cars up until 1Kw under our restriction and what does that solve? Nothing.
Personally, I have the mentality that, I do my car up so it looks **** HOT!, (Not Rice), Sounds Nice and has the power, I may cruise on Friday & Saturday night and meet in the car parks, but if someone wants to try and crack me, they follow me to the track. Only thing is, not everyone has this mentality, and those that don't, don't want to.
If these people don't think it's fun, then we need to find ways to make it fun. Instead of making other ways more thrilling. (Chance of getting caught is a thrill to us!)
