I dont see a problem with it i just think the term "driving school" is kind of misleading. Especially if you don't read through the website. I wouldnt want to take my girlfriend's car out to the track and put it in a situation where i could get in a racing indecent. I think people think that driving school isnt going to be at a full race condition and just a toned down versionWhat's wrong with bringing an Altima for driving school? So what? I've seen numerous bone stock cars at track events. I saw an 8th Gen Accord Sedan at NASA HPDE 1 w/ instruction at Buttonwillow. There wasn't a problem there. :what:
Broski, you don't understand what "full race condition" means. Take Raceline's track events for example. The only level that experiences full race conditions is Level 5. Why? Becaause there are no point-bys required. Drivers in Level 5 may pass whenever they like. In NCRC's driving school, point-bys are required. You don't see Honda Challenge drivers give each other point-bys right?I dont see a problem with it i just think the term "driving school" is kind of misleading.

There are always going to be douchebag drivers at track days. Nothing you can do, but be aware of your surroundings and make sure the pass is as safe as possible. If someone is on your ass, you can't just not point them by and expect them to stay behind you. I admit that when I'm behind someone slow that doesn't point me by, that I take the initiative to make the pass where I feel it's safe (most of the time on a straight).Yeah i see that point and i used the term liberally but still how many times at Raceline's trackdays was i dive bombed into corner entry with people passing without a point by on a spot on the track where which was deemed as a non passing zone. Same at Thunderhill. Point is you never know what ass hat is out there.
Sounds like I'm going to have fun when I'm up there driving around with those imbeciles.People up here think straightaways are anywhere but corner exit.
That sounds about right. I've seen everything you mentioned above here at SoCal track events as well.you will. Especially since the younger people/assholes are in the lower run groups:
dude with the F430 was doing a "hey look at me im in a f430" lap. would speed up every time i moved off line to overtake. Dudes in vipers and vettes just think they are the s*** and then your import drivers either catch fire or are jackasses off track. Now you see why i say so cal people are nicer.
I agree. Most of the older people are more towards the friendly crowd. Then some of the younger chaps think they're hot shit.So annoying. only nice people are the old dudes looool!
Nice! I'm planning on getting a couple of Contour ContourROAM cameras since the shop has an account with Contour.Got my GoPro HD Hero 2 now
