[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 9820399, member: 6247"] I could not agree with this post more! I have seen this scenario play out way more times than I care to type. :rollseyes The last time it happened was at Road America this Spring. My student and his brother came from Minneapolis to do a track event. My student had a '04 (I think) Bullitt (with about six or so track events under his belt) and his brother had a '07 Mustang GT. It was his brother's [B]VERY FIRST TRACK EVENT [/B]and his instructor signed him off after three sessions. Sure he was driving slow and safe but that wasn't the point!!!! [B]NOBODY[/B] should ever be signed off on a track, especially like Road America, on their first track event after three sesions!!!! :dw: EVAR!!!!! :eek: People who call themselves 'driving instructors', and do this kind of thing, don't take the responsibility seriously enough IMHO. Finding a good driving instructor is no different than finding a good dentist, chiropractor, massage therapist or mechanic. It takes a lot of research on the part of the student. The people that attend these driving schools and get instructors, know who the good instructors are and who the 'shirkers' are. Do your research. FWIW :thumbsup::coolman::beer: [/QUOTE]
