Default Worst HPDE Student Ever!

My new worst driving student ever .. this sport is going to the dogs..I couldnt get the helmet on him his snoot went through the face mask and held it down covering his eyes his throtle control left some to be desired and all hell broke loose when a rabbit crossed the track...Worse part was when he kept dropping the window net to stick his head out in the wind. Seems like he couldn't finish a lap without being black flagged. I think im going to retire.. —

David,

What kind of instructor are you? He doesn't even have his paws in the proper position. Weren't there french mastiffs you could place at every apex?

LOL, and I thought I had the worst student!

My last student backed up into my Corvette Z06 before his first run causing $2,200.00 in damage. We still went out on the Homestead track, and he actually was pretty dang good on the track. I gave him an 'A' in going forward, and a 'Needs major coaching in the backing up' category!

I like the paint design. I'd just clearcoat over top of it and leave it as is. What a warrior that is.
