How long did it take you to move through the ranks? I am not as talented as some/most of the people on this forum, but I can tell you the journey was just as much fun as the destination......

Do you look back any differently on those original posts? No, that's where I was on my learning curve at the time and I thought someone had to ask those questions.....no matter what kind of responses I would get.....

As far as this thread being a great resource, I hope it has helped others as much as it has helped me........

Enjoy the ride!
Well said Paolo, especially about the journey! I still remember bombing around an autocross course in North Andover (out at the old WE plant) with Jay Gratton instructing me. I'll never forget my 'roots' and will always be grateful for the journey. It has been and continues to be a blast.

I have been misclassified from the beginning.

When I started in Green, I knew nearly everything about driving fast.

Now that I'm in Black, I listen intently to all driving instruction.

A very astute observation!

Man. This thread is back from the dead.

I still can’t answer the original question though.

Still haven’t made it to black. 😂

Damn it Gary, see what you started? Next you'll be reviving a which oil to use thread.

Back on point, I think one of the worst things you can do to a student is to promote them before they are ready. Its not only the loss of instructions but the realization that they got in over their head but now can't back out of the decision due to pride.
