I’m a freelance magazine writer, and I’m thinking of doing a series of articles on high-performance driving technique. I’ve noticed that most car magazines--even those devoted to sports and performance cars--don’t really run many stories about that.

What do you think? Would you guys be interested in articles on how to improve your driving skills?

If so, what kinds of things would you like to learn more about?

Drifting... do a whole slab of articles on the art of drifting....

Road racing... do a whole slab of article on the rigors of corner cutting and hammer dropping...

Drag racing... do a whole slab on how to speed shift and drop qaurter times....
