Worst instructor ever!

[delanckc]

My worst and only bad experience with an instructor came during my third DE at Watkins Glen (my one and only non-RTR sponsored DE).  I was extremely excited to run on this historical track.  I should have known something was up as my original instructor swapped me out to this knucklehead of an instructor.

My new instructor's ego was the size of the moon.  His instruction was bad but I really couldn't tell at the time.  I could barely understand what he was saying when we were on the course.  The speaker in the headset he gave me was so bad, it was like having Charlie Brown's parents screaming in my ears at high decibels.  He would just continue to turn up the volume even after telling him I couldn't understand what he was saying.  My right ear would be ringing after every session.

The guy wouldn't come out of his camper until 5 to 10 minutes into each session.  His attitude was that he was a great Cup racer and I was lucky to have him for my instructor.  I was really starting to get pi**** off.  Luckily he signed me off at the end of the first day and I was rid of him.  If my liberation wasn't dependent on him signing me off, I probably would have popped him one. 

I could go on hours about this guy but...  I have no bad experiences with RTR instructors.
