I really have driven that fast on snow covered roads. I also attended most of the formula car racing schools in the US and One in Canada, I also have extensive skid pad and slidecar training and experience I have numerous wins in both dry and rain and I have beaten professional racing instructors... I was also offered a professional racing contract. So for me that was safe to do.

If that is in the snow, with 4 winter tires then yes, I tend to agree.

After years of being a Very Successful illegal street racer, I finally had the money to attend professional racing schools and then enter open wheel Formula Cars races. To be clear, I street raced in and around NYC late at night and alone because I would not risk any of my friends lives in the event of the worst outcome that is Always possible.

I can remember drives I have taken years and years later. Going fast is my thing and has been since I was 6 years old. However if you ask me about my first organized Formula Car race: I have virtually No Memory of those 20 or so minutes of my life... I remember the warmup lap and the green flag but thats about it.

It took a while and a lot of effort but yes I did eventually dominate on the track. I won races, poles, fastest laps and I was offered the chance to turn pro... I mention this only to give credence to the oddities that Stress and/or Fear have on memory.

So now when I hear reports of Police in shootouts Not Remembering what happened... I UNDERSTAND.

Extremely High speed precision driving is possible Only because of footwork. Walter is just UnFrickenBelievable: Left foot braking. Heel and Toeing. And playing the Throttle to both catch slides And create them to--rotate the car into the corners.

Driving is both Science and Art. I doubt if "they" have any clue about this fact. I really do.

* Note: I'm the OP btw. And yes I understand Walter's footwork.

Its difficult to explain to people who live in cities how different things are in the suburbs. There's no street lights or even Sidewalks where I live. There is No Public transportation in off-peak hours, none. And ride-share... with who--someone who lives miles away from you?? What about in the snow when its a bitch to just get your own ass in on time.

This the reality for millions and millions of people in the US.

I work for a Huge healthcare corporation; they own 23 hospitals and employ over 60,000 people. Yet lunch breaks are 30 minutes long--an Adult can not eat a healthy meal in 30 minutes, a 6 year probably could though, they require far less food than a grown man.

They also constantly promote walking as a real form of exercise---which is a joke. You have to workout to be healthy: working out, in case you don't know, is painful and it makes you smell bad; but there is No substitute.
