Instructor was kind of annoying with the directions, on my first autox run, my instructor didn't say anything and just gave pointers before the next run. It's gotta be a bit distracting with him talking that much during a run.

...but did he say "oh my god, this car is a beast" at the end of the run? lol!

Can't wait 'til July for SCCA Hawaii's first event for the '10-'11 season.

Same here. I still have an instructor ride along with during my first run of the day...just give some pointers.

I dont know how you didnt die laughing at that guy's accent tho.

Can't do that in our events. Only novices (first timers) get instructors to ride along for their runs. After that, no passengers until fun runs at the end of the "official" runs.

All the more experienced people are often willing to give pointers just by watching you run though.

We dont do fun runs in our CCA chapter. But the SCCA and New Jersey CCA events that ive been to have em.

Just curious, who do you run with?

[MarkR171]

SCCA Hawaii region.

Looks like sodara was in an SCCA event as well considering the SCCA helmet inspection stickers on the instructor's helmet.

Damn I would need a instructor like that.. or some lines on the road.... those cones are way to confusing......

[MarkR171]

They're not that confusing, there are pointer cones that tell you which side to pass on. Also, drivers are allowed to walk the course a few times before you actually drive it. I'm yet to DNF (get lost in a course) *knock on wood.*

cool

[jeremydgreat]

Actually, I really appreciate it when instructors are vocal and assertive. I have so much to learn, I find it's helpful to hear what to look out for (and what I've just messed up) WHILE I'm on the course, and not in a review session afterwards. Again, that's just me.

Great video man!

lol, I had to cut some of his "this car is f 'en awesome" comments.
Instructor ride-a-longs are always a good idea early on because it's nice to know where to position yourself. Before that run, I was having a hard time putting power down(slid around too much) and I just felt lost.

yeah, usually they don't say anything until it's over but I didn't mind his "navigation". He said the car was amazing at the end.
