"A lot of mistakes a lot of rookie drivers make is they only push the pedal down part way"

"You see, if he turns here he'll go into this little grassy area. And that's not allowed!"

I like how he tells his drivers to look out the windshield and if there is another car where the driver wants to go, don't go there. It seems as though a lot of the CRASHCAR drivers don't heed that advice.

Exactly! I learned that if you use the brakes you go slower and if you turn the steering wheel you go slower. I learned alot from these circle track guys!
