Please provide feedback on my track-related survey

I am doing a biostats project that consists of collecting and analyzing data, and I figured I'd do something car/track related. I want to see if driver experience level, car and driver safety items, and whether or not the car is driven in public influence how many on-track "events" (described below and in survey question) you'll have in one day at a track event. What I'm trying to assess is how much risk people take at the track, and if that is correlated with experience, safety items, whether or not the car is driven in public. I do not want to include any data from a W2W race because they will skew the results. I know there are A LOT more variables that influence "events" than the three I listed, but the project's requirements greatly limit what I can do. I am looking for a somewhat exact number of events that occur in one day and would prefer that over an estimate. For example I had 11 incidents at TWS in June.

My pooling of the "events" may cause confusion due to the 90° correction part. I understand that those who push their cars may have to correct multiple times in a single lap and that it may be a normal occurrence. I have included this with the other incidents anyways to assess the level of risk being taken, because I believe that you are taking more risk by pushing your car to the limit (which may result in the need to make corrections). An example of what I'm talking about is at 1:50 in the video posted below. Normal occurrence, but something that I want included in the survey. Drifting for fun is also included in the pool of events, so if you like to drift, please include those events in the survey.

Survey is linked below. It shouldn't take more than two minutes to read and fill out. If you have time, please share the link to the survey with others and/or on another forum.

The car is on PSS10 coilovers, which aren't good for track use, and I also have stock sway bars. But in the end, it comes down to my driving style. I need to fix it.
