Re John G as "the pseudo Black Stig that was driving (note black helmet, shirt and gloves)"
Boy, was I slow -- had to look it up

This wasn't a "look at my driving" post. It was sharing some video of fun on the track and allowing others to see themselves on the track. I was paying back friends for posting video. No one else felt any need to offer comment.
But if you really feel like helping, be constructive. Which turn(s)? Also, maybe you would want to know something about the objectives of the session before you offer criticism to the instructor or advice to the driver.
Be constructive, or go away.

Glad for you to look at my video and offer constructive advice, but make sure you understand the context first. You'll find people will be more likely to be receptive to your comments.

I had that honor, I think first Blue session after lunch on Sunday. My instructor explained that if I man-up and carry the speed I'm supposed to through T4, my right tires will be several inches above the pavement, so the rebar will not be a problem.
Closer to the truth, I made a pass on 2-3, and when I came around T3, I saw.....for the first time all weekend.... CLEAR TRACK!!! I was so excited I think I hyperventilated and blacked out. Punting the cone woke me up, and I was back in rush hour traffic by 7.....

Weak attempt at a recovery Ryan, very weak. I was waiting for you to step in your own trap, and once again you did not disappoint. Next, you may have an opportunity to learn about Positive Reinforcement.

I'm putting it on the line with full expectations of being the back marker. Real men have the self confidence and humility to be able to do that.
Interestingly, the fastest guys I know, West Dillard, Dave Scott, Keith Olcha, Viking, Bill Sisco, Robert Henricksen, Jake Tayler, Michael Paton, Jay Walker, Steve Watkins, etc, etc,... have all been very supportive and helpful to me in developing my limited driving skills. They all have enough talent and self confidence to not feel the need to spew venom at other driving instructors or ridicule rookie racers.
Go play with your tonka toys. Come back when you're ready to sit at the adult table.

I'm 53yo, and have only been driving on the track for two years. This will be my rookie race. I'm no God's gift to driving, and I never pretend to be. My objective for the club race is to safely complete all the sprints for the weekend. I don't think there are any turns I won't get passed in. More than anything, in the DE's leading up to the race, Ive been trying my best to be able to drive the track from any line I have to to survive the race.
