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? |

I will add my $.05 worth. I am a new instructor/open track driver. I have only instructed on a couple of occasions and offer my limited experiance. I have found COMMUNICATION to be the key! Only after making sure the student knows EXACTLY what YOU want him/her to do, can it be a good experiance for both the student and instructor.
I also agree with Mike's sponge/stone theory, some "get" it while others are slower learners. I think the biggest thing the Instructor needs to do is be in "charge". I also have one rule......Thou shall NOT kill the instructor/or thyself! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) Gary |
