Great to read about teens and other young drivers attending the Winter Car Control (single day) school at O'Neil's. If I can afford to do so, I will be sending my kids there when they start driving. For the car control, not the rally school part. Doesn't hurt that this place is an hour away from me.

I had a friend whose dad sent him and his sister to a bunch of crap like this, and his sister still freaked out whenever a car slid a little bit in the winter : /
That being said, I'd still like to do the same for my children.

I did this, but in various parking lots not at Team O'Neal.
Also drivers training in this country is a bad joke.

I got sent to similar trainings offered by BMW shortly after getting my license. I recommend this to everyone.

Road America also hosts actual car control skills teen driving schools, including winter/snow ones. For people around this part of the country who would be interested.

I participated as an instructor for the Tire Rack Street Survival course. I can attest that some students will still be squeamish for a while despite nailing down how to do slaloms and panic stops.

True, I have seen one driver at O'Neil's who just couldn't wrap her head around the concepts. Like, feeling the weight transfer of the car, and how that affects the handling. But what's so strange, is when people have been driving for whatever number of years and yet they can still be oblivious to those feelings.
