There's always one . . .
Yeah, great.
My girlfriend, Cheers944, is DE registrar for Goldcoast Region. We see at least one of this type every event - it is Miami! - Especially new 2010 GT3RS's with Satin White wraps . . .
Sometimes we get other "Car Clubs" or "Tuners" show up with a bunch of "racers" and all demand the same. They are usually the ones who are heading the conga-line in their 600bhp V-8's. If you are watching on the wall, it sounds like NASCAR during a yellow flag!
But the good side is the majority of the entrants are actually humble, and grateful for the instruction. Even the ones who have been tracking for awhile usually are appreciative for the local tips given by the instructor.

Brilliant! I always seem to catch just an earful of guy giving this type of speech at a DE day. Too bad he forgot to mention he's runnning race fuel... LOL. Well done!

+1 on removing the passenger seat "to make room for my HD cameras."
This actually makes me worried about telling instructors that I've been to events at other clubs!

Someone put together a similar movie, but this time for a specialized skill in skydiving called swooping. If flying a tandem canopy is like driving a bus, and flying a student canopy is like driving a mini-van and flying the average skydiver's canopy is like driving a stock run of the mill Toyota Corolla. Flying a "swooping" canopy like the Velocity 84 (as referenced in the video) is like driving a GT3RS at it's limits. Plus it takes hundreds, if not thousands of jumps to become a good swooper, not the 25 jumps referenced in the movie.

OK this is just for grins, but if you’ve ever had to deal with that rare breed of DE participant who believes he is the next Stirling Moss but who can’t drive his way out of a paper bag, then you might find this funny. Those of you who instruct have probably seen this type before.
Got link? (edit, saw you posted a link above)
