It's really the same issue about driver education. But, for the sake of the thread, let's escalate the level.
I frequent a forum where high performance cars are built from kits. The average baseline car will have less than 8 pounds per hp available, and the insurance is significantly higher because of it. The average daily driver tends to run double the pounds per hp.
Most of the owners don't even try to get professional training to learn how these things handle, even tho the highly emulated original maker made his entrance into the market doing exactly that - he hired professionals to teach driving to others. Add to that, the forum has no commercial sponsors of driving courses. They are out there, some even from the day when the original maker was in competition, but there is apparently no money or market to entice these kit builders.
I see the gun market exactly the same. How many gun and rifle training vendors advertise here? I can't even find the links.
Gun training and handling courses must not be important, or the ad rates too high to justify on the return from this market. There's your factual answer to how much regard it gets. At least I got my professional training in the service - but MO won't even give it any regard, IN/MP or not. I still had to take a CCW class to qualify.
That is the atmosphere we live in and why the comments are out there.
