ugh

 

What do you mean, he has his own RACING BIO site, we must "respect his authorataaaa"

!

 

My bad....Guess I need my own racing bio site too! Then you will all bow down to the Mighty Jarez Mifkin!

 

I guess 7 pages was the limit before I get flamed.

 

consider yourself lucky, it usually starts with me before they finish reading my orignal post....

 

D*mnit MTosi, what the crap are you doing here?? j/k man. I've given you enough poo for a couple of weeks.

 

I'm actually amazed this thread has lasted this long and hasn't degenerated to the point where people are giving each other the digital finger

I always love the "open to interpretation" threads. They at least prove that people with a lot of passion are sometimes passionately unobjective.

 

I was waiting for VR and his PROJECTING

 

I don't disagree with the point that it would be smarter, cheaper, and a better learning experience to learn how to drive on a lesser powered car before jumping into a GT3 and showing up at the track like I did.

Trust me, I was self conscious about the fact that guys were saying hear is some dolt, who shows up in that car and can't drive out of the paddock. All I can say is if I knew what I know know, I would have taken a different path because the power of the GT3 does make it harder to learn, But you have to respect it and try to become a good student and not just try and go fast.

I have worked hard to be a good student and leave my ego at home. I go to the track and get as much seat time as I can on average 2x a month, and I am doing a high performance driving school also. I pick the brain of every instructor i meet, and really work this hobby. If i can develop some driving skill and keep the car in one piece then I will count that as a victory, besides a little more risk keeps your butt a little tighter in the seat.

 

This thread once again shows the great disparity in skill & knowledge level that exists on Rennlist. We've got everyone from very good club racers to mid pack racers to mid run group DEers to kids that don't even own a track car (sorry MTosi, I couldn't resist ). I tend to interpret posts differently based on how good the person actually is. When a Chris Brown, Larry Herman or Dave Scott posts, I'll really read the post and look at what they are saying. If you're an unknown, sorry, but I'll probably not pay much attention. Just remember the disparity before immediately blasting people that they just might be at a very different level than you (higher or lower).

Now back to your regularly scheduled **** fight...

 

Haha! Nah, I don't wanna overuse that one.

Again, I am quite happy to see lots of folks at the track, enjoying our sport. While it is likely "better" to learn good driving craft in a less powerful car, I have to admit that I enjoy the extra challenge of helping a skilled driver (i.e., not a Green) learn how to drive a very powerful car like a momentum car. THAT is a breakthrough that, while rare, is incredibly rewarding as an instructor and private coach.

I recall a guy who used to come to a lot of our LSR and Maverick PCA events (he's been out of the country recently) in his heavily modified 6GT3. Good driver, but the car was a big part of that.....and he sort of knew it (to his credit). He worked with me and others, and he gradually became really, really fast with that car, so that it was mostly HIM. He went from being a good driver in a great car to a VERY good driver...and WGAS what car he was in? He'd be fast in anything. That was a beautiful thing.

Colin, I am genuinely flattered by the compliment. Thank you! The feeling is mutual.

 

I guess i will have to stop posting ! but understandable comment wich i happen to agree with!

i will post again when my kids are older and i can go out racing

 

It's all good, its just temporary.... for some reason my college wants me to pay tuition every few months, so I had to sell my track car last winter but I finally have some money this summer ...speaking of that anyone have an S2 with a broken cam belt... I'm in the market....

 

He is a fellow dentist, isn't that good enough?........

I was on my way to the Glen, is it something that Frank said?
