Car control - in 76 i had a 68 firebird convertible. when i was running baloney skins (the most popular tire in the late 70s) i hasd to learn some car control.

now i am older and trying to be a little bit wiser (wise as in safe).

I bet no matter what you are driving, you would hate to be the car in back of me should i put the Rs on prematurely and learn the hard way that i put them on prematurely.

Not at all. As long as you were consistent and on line, whatever differing skill level.......I'd wait for the appropriate time to pass (whether point by in a lower level DE session.....which I wouldn't be in.....or an open track/race where I'd likely do it safely under braking)

In the green run group, I would suspect 90-95% other driver, 5-10% you. Give or take. If you are on a 3:00 track, running for 15 minutes (not including warm/up-down), you would need to be between 30-45 seconds faster than the other guy to pass and then lap him. If that was the case, he would probably be (politely) classified OSB. And, if you are 30-45 seconds faster than most of the green group, you are as much of a hazard to them as they are to you, and the instructor set should push you up to the next group.

As for the R's, put them on when you feel ready. The track will still be there for ya
