    Single most important skill you learned on track

    Me, I think it's unwinding the wheel when rolling onto the gas. You?

                              Always shift at the same RPM. It helps you know when you're carrying more speed through a corner, because you'll have to shift earlier.

                              ...And, bring a trailer if you think your car might blow up.
