Same Car Care as Racing
During a rear tire blowout,

t i t
Is highway driving in any
way the same as race track
driving? In my experiences
I've found many similarities.
For example, there isn't a
race driver in the world who
would go out on a track
knowing that his car is not
100# ' mechanically sound.
Shouldn't the average motor­
ist also have this confidence
in his own car?
Once you know the vehicle
is perfect, you can concen­
trate on driving skills. w}thout worrying about whether
the brakes are going to grab,
or whether the tires are safe,
or whether the steering com­
ponents are going to give out
at a crucial time.
When your car is in excel­
lent condition, you have con­
fidence in it, and your driv­
ing ability reflects this con­
fidence.
Escape
Route P l a n
Another similarity I find
between highway driving and
race driving is what I call
the escape route plan."
Planning ahead while driv­
ing helps keep me alert and
helps keep my mind on my
driving. In my own mind I've
been on the shoulders of ex­
pressways and In ditches all
over the country. In fact, I've
always "driven" the grass
infield of the Indianapolis
Speedway with every circuit,
and several times, having an
escape route like this has
helped me and saved my car.
Driver attitude also plays
an important role, whether

Starting with 10 basic volts of electricity, the

through defective parts, causes the spark plugs U»

whern the rear of the car
tends to swing frontwards or
the four wheel skid where all

In a car with manual trans­
mission lift your foot off the
gas and declutch (depress the
clutch pedal). With an auto,
raatir transmission, all you
need to do is take your foot
of the pas and the torque
converter will slow you down.
In a front wheel skid, Mlually induced by cornering
too fast, the technique is dif­
ferent. With an automatic
transmission, gear down and
with manual shift, do not
declutch.
Then, in all skid condi­
tions, countersteer out of the
skid by turning the front
wheels in the same direction
the rest of the car is skidding.
Immediately turn the wheel
around in the opposite direc­
tion or you risk a dangerous
second skid.

The course is sealed with a plastic top coat, soaked with a
soluble oil and flooded with water, simulating treacherous
summer driving conditions. Water on an oil-slicked road can
be even more dangerous than glare ice.

on the highway, or on the
race track. The racing driver
with an immature attitude,
one who loses his temper, one
who "gets even" with other
drivers or one who shows off,"'
soon finds himself out of the
racing business — In one way
or another.
Similarly, i m m a t u r i t y
catches up with the motorist
on the street. They are the
ones who leave a stretch of
rubber at traffic lights, who
pass on curves and hills, and
weave in and out of traffic,
and ones who have unneces­
sary—and distracting—doo­
dads hanging around the
rear window and mirrors.
Word of Caution
I'm not saying that an ex­
pert driver on the highway
can take the wheel of a race
car and come out with a good
showing. But he is the kind
of driver who has the quali­
fications and prerequisites
that are necessary for fur­
ther training which could
make him a professional
driver.
Why Volvo's Fords
are better
than Ford's Fords.
If you're 1< joking i or a good used F« >rd, the
Volvo dealer listedhere has abetter idea.
The •\Svensk Testad" Ford.
"Svensk Testad" h the 22-point inspec­
tion and repair pr )cedure originally devel­
oped in Sweden. And only Volvo dealers
have it.
During this procedure,
potential
trouble areas get a thorough going
by trained "'Svensk Testad" mechanics.
And, if needed, equally- t > w u g h repairs.
In case you donH b e l i e f everything
you read in ads, you're shown the Svensk
Testad" inspection forrri. It reveals exactly
o v e r
M
how the car did on each of the 22-points.
Before you buy.
And in case you don't believe every­
thing you hear in used carlots. the "Svensk
Testad" dealer will show you {he 100%
warranty that the inspection form is
backed up with.
If, after all this, you're still not interested
in one of Volvo's Fords stop
by anyway.
Look "at one of Volvo's
Thevys, Plymouths, Dodges.
Cadillacs, Volkswagens, etc.
