Only GR could turn the fact that someone has actually had success at something into an assumption that they no longer intend to have further successes in something. I need some of what he is drinking...

CORRECTED

And another thing: this idiot has squandered 12 YEARS...and yet watching any of his videos, his "skills" are intermediate AT BEST. Watching him ceaselessly pontificate about his superiority is truly a breathtaking level of hypocrisy.

Bull

I wish I were selling what he is smoking!

It's call chi baby, you all have it in you... if you know how to cultivate it... but your brain may be too dense and ignorant to learn something new.

***Hey! I resemble that remark. I've been instructing for six years. I find it very rewarding to help introduce new folks to the field of motorsports, and to make them (hopefully!) a better driver when sharing the roads with us all. However, two or three laps does not qualify an instructor in my experience as a coach and as an organizer. We have adopted a technique where we assign one of our long-time, trusted instructors to someone who wants to get into the program. Our instructor role plays with you throughout the day, whether they are the "student" or the "instructor". This lets folks know what we expect of them and it helps me to evaluate new instructors. It's been working for a while now. I just wish we'd started this method a couple of years ago, rather than only recently.

Bonnie, there is nothing wrong with that approach.

That is how Frankie Baby has been weeded out of all the programs for which he may have instructed.

Well, that & driving like a racist high school retard on crystal meth. And damaging other people's cars. And insulting his students. And demanding to drive their cars.

Lather/rinse/repeat.

For NASA and SCCA, we have to go through a program similar to this one. Same thing with Hooked on Driving. Some groups are pretty relaxed about instructing. I instruct for a few groups where word-of-mouth alone was all it took to get in (including POC and PCA events). I guess it pays to play nice.

BTW, instructing with PCA and POC is a fun time. I get passed by just about everybody, except maybe for the 914s and the 944s. But hey, a Carrera GT flying by you is still fun.

Sorry...didn't mean to step on toes. I instructed in the past but gave it up. If I'm going to use up a weekend and the related Friday off work, I'd rather we racing. I was simply looking to clarify what Ghetto boy was trying to say.

Bonster

Oh, heck Bryan, you didn't step on my toes at all. I don't usually instruct on race weekends. Sometimes, though, when money is tight, I'll instruct on race weekends so that at least I'm there to say hi to the gang and whatever. Most of my instructing occurs during the work week, as I run my own business and can set my own schedule most of the time. I'm probably at the track eight or nine times a month for one thing or the other.

Yah right, you were asked not to instruct because you were a hot shoe drover right? Too fast for DE's perhaps? I dunno about the rest of the country, but our local SF Bay BMW chapter used to be run by this **** *** guy who was like that. He felt you need to spend years and years to understand droving.

Has anyone else noticed that Fank's fixations have a very limiting effect on his descriptive vocabulary?

GhettoRacer

Get it straight pops, you guys are the ones that are homophobic. What I wrote is commonly used by many ppl to describe ... well, an **** person. Somebody that's so up tight they got something stick up their butt. I really dunno another adjective that describe such a person so well.

Hey I know... Describe yourself for me. That way I can learn few more words for **** ppl.

Mike in Chi

OMG, he just did it again. Fank's fixation strikes again.

Bonster

I instruct for the BMW CCA. I know of the guy you are speaking of. He's not ****, he's safety-concsious. Not a bad thing when you consider the average bimmer costs about $40k.
