Is it just me or has there been a rash of rookie student crashes?
In the last year, I can recall 1/2 dozen or so local HPDE crashes by inexperienced drivers (not that I have a ton of experience) where significant damage has occured. Is this a Texas trend? |

Nope, not a Texas trend. It happens everywhere.
IMO it has to do with the instructors ability to reign in the driver. Set goals that are obtainable and more important, realistic. If someone has that 'Fast 'n Furious' attitude, then a serious discussion must take place. I'm instructing this week-end at Summit Pt. Had a couple of good students, so far. Hope the weather for Sunday hold like it was today. I don't want to have to teach the 'wet line'. |
