I have been in the white run group as far as I can remember (I get my senior moments too!). I also drive a car that is older than many club members. I don't care to move up to black or red. I have seen guys move from green to red in the course of a season. Some are or were really good drivers, and that may be OK for a gifted few, but others.........I wouldn't let them get within 100 feet of my car at a track event. I guess that it is an EGO to brag about.
White run group is by far the TOP GROUP.....in terms of FEAR FACTOR. They scare the S--T OUT OF ME. They are still too GREEN (NO PUN INTENDED) to know or remember track etiquette, they drive wrecklessly and almost NEVER look in their rear view mirrors.
There are a lot of things that a driver needs to focus on, and many of the NEW solo drivers think that since they were signed off, that they know everything NOW. In fact, many white drivers don't even know where the flag stations are if they are asked, after a session.
A SOLO driver should not only be smooth, know the line, shift well, be fast, blah! Blah! BLAH!, aware of everything in his (her) car: PMS, Oh sorry! PSM, ABS, ETC, but HE (SHE) needs to be MOST aware of everything around him, OUTSIDE HIS (her) WONDERFULL CAR.

Please tell me: I'm wrong.

Nick,



Ok, you're wrong!



You are right about you comments that a white run group driver should be aware of their surroundings. But I'm somewhat concerned about your comments that I've put in bold. Perhaps you should review who you are driving with. I know you aren't talking about RTR.
