All true - too much information for the beginners. I think studying a track on youtube before you've driven it is pretty much pointless. Watching your own video after runs is helpful, though. Same goes for advanced techniques like trail braking, left foot braking, etc. The internet makes it look easy, but in fact is un-necessary in a DE setting. It also takes some looking to find a club that has like minded drivers. I've culled the herd down to 2 here in my area where we all go out and have fun without any ego nonsense. The club I mostly drive with has 2 HPDE groups. Lower (where I drive) that's all street cars with drivers that have graduated out of the school, and upper, or Test and Tune. That's where all the racers drive. It's a good system.
