I've had instructors say very nice things about my driving (including, "Why are you still in Green?") but I've never asked an instructor for a sign-off or a promotion. I wouldn't blame any instructor for getting right out of the car if s/he heard that. I know I'm advancing because I'm facing a different set of challenges. But drivers who think they are advancing beyond challenges are clueless at best and dangerous at worst.
Even though I am spending more time on the track by myself I continue to be awed by the courage and dedication of instructors. I'm nowhere near instructor level yet, but I'm not sure I would have the ***** to do it. You guys rock.

That is just my style.........

And to think, I was betting on you re-registering under a new alter-ego and starting threads incognito asking questions about DE's and stuff....

Another thought is to ask an Advanced Instructor to ride with You early on at each event. Preferably it is one that can perform check rides and formulate an opinion letter for Club Race Licensing at the appropriate date. You ask the AI what is needed for You to move into Club Racing. the AI will ask You to move up....way before You need to ask to be advanced.

There really are alternatives to being a constant pain in the *** that don't include brown nosing.
