Show the DE boys how it's really done...

[Phokaioglaukos]

Thanks for Craig, for the photos, and thanks to Craig and the other RTR members who came out to coach in car and staff the program. Even with a Club Race at Lime Rock and a DE at Summit Point on the same weekend RTR enabled us to get to a 1:1 student to coach ratio. I'll let Craig and V tell you directly how their day went, but mine was deeply satisfying.

Most students came because a parent forced them. My student last weekend was bright, but fundamentally uninterested. Even after six hours of formal, in-car training over the road and six months of practice on a permit (as required by NJ), at the outset he had no concept of weight transfer or vehicle dynamics--either theoretical or practical. He did not know how to check tire pressure or find what the tire pressure should be, or how to check coolant, brake fluid or oil levels. By the end of the day he knew all of that, and more, and had filled his tires to 33 PSI checked with the Michelin tire pressure gauge provided to each student.

Your RTR fellow members did some real good last Saturday!
