When you are behind somebody do you conciously look over around, and through them? Do you change lanes to clear/improve your field of vision?
When you walk the course at autocross, do you turn your head and look where you want the car to end up after the next corner/element, or keep your head/eyes straight ahead?

You know, after many conversations with you on this Dean, I have made a conscious effort to do just so, and be much more attentive to my place on the track, as opposed to directly in front of me. It has helped IMMENSELY with my control over the vehicle. I'm actually driving my car now, instead of simply being along for the ride!
+1 for keeping your eyes up!
That's horrible to hear about the on track accident. There are so many *obvious* dangers involved in road racing, and apparently a few not so obvious ones as well...
