Red Group, Schattenbaum March DE at Lightning. After being held up for a lap, three of us finally get a point by.

Killer job going no steering angle as soon as you hit the grass. Kept you off that Armco.

Good save.

Whoever that driver is he doesn't belong into red, instructor I presume, group IMHO. But then again I've seen white group, right below red instructor in my area, drive that way and think nothing of it.

Mistakes happen, no one's perfect, perhaps unfamiliarity with the track - but holding up faster cars is just dumb in a DE. In all the run groups.

Best,

Matt

And thats why driving off line to try and "help" can be so dangerous! always just drive the line!!! always!!!!!!! let the faster drivers , via point by dive down under neath, before turn in, or off line on exits of turns.
Its really simple

WTF? Where did THAT come from?

Curious to hear if the driver approached you afterwards to explain and or apologize.

Nice accident avoidance. The true meaning of "driver's education."
