To Dean's point - all beginning drivers on a road course should have an in-car instructor. Not only does this help mitigate the risk that people are out there who don't know what they're doing, but each beginning track driver then has an opportunity to be corrected before taking out themself or others on the track.

I was wondering how many people who have considered taking their cars on the track have heard the term 'in a spin both feet in', or what course of action to take if they find themself 'leaving the course' unintentionally?

There's a ton of learning that is valuable before you even hit the track. I was glad to hear you guys had an opportunity to take a class but from what it sounds like, there's opportunity for more.
