I concur completely with Mike and Bob's statements. First, RTR is an awesome club and runs the best DE's. Thorough in organization from a safety and scheduling sense but not ridiculously over bearing or run as a police state, like some other clubs.
Over the years I have had the best instructors at RTR; Jim Zelinski, Rick Owens, John Giannone to name a few. Over the past year John G and most especially Nick Hitalski have coached and taught me some advanced techniques such as threshold braking, trail braking and throttle steering. Their experience and ability to analyze specific traits in my driving has given me the ability to drive with confidence in the black group. The real results can be proven in lap times as at the Glen I went from last years best of 2:24 to a 2:12 last weekend. At Tbolt I went from 1:37 to 1:30. I highly recommend that new white group and/or black group drivers find a coach and work with them.
Again my hats off to Myles, Rick, Marty, Paul and everyone on the DE team.
