[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 4332295, member: 6247"] Troy: It may not always be the case of bad instruction? As you and everyone else learned, late turn ins and late apexes are the safest route through a turn. The events want to maintain a safe history of incidents and later turn ins and apexes are the safety cushion. Once a driver becomes more proficient they can start turning in earlier and earlier. Along with earlier turn ins comes earlier apexes. When students show me good (or excellent) car control, I feel much more comfortable showing them "the fast" line around the track. I want to see a student with a fast reflex catching a loose ass end without even missing a beat. If they are able to do that I feel comfortable getting them going a little faster. We slowly creep up on turn ins and apexes which allows us to carry more speed through the turns. Some students are ready for that and others clearly are not. YMMV, :thumbsup: :coolman: :beer: [/QUOTE]
