Not really.  You're lucky you have good resources and pay attention
Ben.  There are a *lot* of people who don't understand it.  It's also very
very tempting even for those who know better to drive as deep as they can
into a corner.

Also don't forget this is a quote from the 50s or 60s.  Today we have lots
written about driving and racing, as well as racing schools and DEs.  Even
so, a lot of people don't get it.  I know at last year's convention DE,
some of the folks I instructed had a hard time getting on the brakes as
early as I told them to.

You're ahead by "getting it" Ben. :-)
