Team SOFAST Driving Pocket Coach: Emergency-Handling & High-Performance Driving — Pocket Field Reference (Team SOFAST Pocket Coach Series)

The pocket field reference for the civilian who wants the driving skills the licensing exam never tested. Threshold braking, evasive maneuvers, vision discipline, vehicle as cover.

Volume 1 · 2026 Edition

What's inside:

— Mindset Before Technique — the car is a 4,000-lb projectile; smooth is fast
— Vehicle Fundamentals — seat, mirrors, tire pressure, brake feel, grip envelope
— Threshold Braking — the single most important emergency skill civilians lack
— Evasive Maneuvers — lane-change emergency, J-turn, reverse evade, brake-and-evade
— Vision + Scan — 12-second visual lead, surveillance detection, pre-incident wrongness
— Vehicle as Cover + Weapon — engine block is the only real cover
— Five Driving Drills (closed course or empty lot)
— Daily Carry Kit for the Vehicle — tourniquet, IFAK, window punch, light, kit essentials
— What to Do If You're In a Wreck — self-check, safety, documentation, what to say to police

Drawn from twenty-one years of Special Forces tactical-driving doctrine, SCCA and FIA civilian-motorsport standards, Bondurant School and Skip Barber Racing School curricula, FLETC TEVOC (Tactical Emergency Vehicle Operations Course), and NHTSA federal driver-training research.

The license is the starting line. This guide is the next mile.
