I'm well aware of the situational aspects of it

In sports cars (as opposed to F1) generally with even the sharpest corners such as we have at COTA, maintaining that 9-3 position offers maximum control and smoothness with both adding and reducing lock.

Using F1 from the early nineties--when their wheels were still actually round but probably only 8" in diameter--isnt really helping your case among this audience here...

Yes. However, you are not the arbiter of right and wrong.

The old "I know the material but can't pass a test on it defense". Also, if you can't write it simple, you don't know the material.

In other words, I'll just thread crap on someone else's thread. Start your own damn thread to debate your mystic ideas.

You do realize that a good portion of those reading these threads do essentially coach for free. I generally don't get paid for my coaching. There are a few who post here who make a living doing it and they have successfully sold their approach to paying customers. Have you?

If you don't, find some other job to make money and stop being envious of other people's success. You are posting in a Porsche racing forum - do you think it was going to be cheap?

Yeah, sure. All the traditional approaches are wrong and you are enlightened, so enlightened that English or any other language is insufficient to communicate the ingeniousness of the approach. Lets tack on a ridiculous screen name to boot - a screen name which otherwise would have been just fine with a more self-aware and relaxed attitude.

For the second time, please take your material and somewhere else.

Nobody reached any agreement. Mike's point and Mglobe's point is in part that you effect an air that your opinions are rote fact and are far superior to all others, and that all others are "wrong". And that its your job to set all these unenlightened knaves straight. With a mere wave of your hand. And that despite numerous requests to substantiate your self proclaimed greatness, you're so great that you can't even write it down for the rest of us poor slobs.

Pure narcissism.

Dave, i agree with you.... we are rarely in disagreement, IMHO, except in the bantering semantics.. on this topic you are correct.

I don't have anywhere near the money that some of you guys have to go out and buy race cars and race licenses. I have suggested one method that's relatively safe and affordable for anyone who wants to participate - Horse. It's like basketball - can you make this shot? We'll do it with car control. If you can't replicate the move, you get a letter. Once you get enough letters to spell out Horse, you're out. Last man standing wins.

Other things is I'm happy to coach for free. Some of you I'll sit in the car with because I know you're eager to develop your craft. Others I won't because I know they have something to prove, or I recognize that they might even be willing to hurt me.

I would be happy to demonstrate that my track/car learning process is more optimal than traditional ones. To make it relatively fair we can go to a track neither of us have been to, but we can even use your car so you have an advantage - if we can get insurance and it's not too much $$$, I'm willing to put up money in escrow to cover the deductible if I damage the car.

Another method I recently thought of is we can do an Arrive & Drive at a track neither of us has been to. Rent some spec miatas or the like. We'll do practice sessions, some time attack sessions, and if we're both comfortable with each other by the end of the day we'll go for a battle. We'll do at least 2 sessions of each, swapping cars to make sure it's fair.



Is F1 serious enough for you?

You are full of crap. I do not go to that forum and haven't the time to read any of your 5,000 word essays describing your greatness.

**** off.
