Run Groups

Eric, I hear what you are saying and I'm all for more "seattime" but I think Tom and Jack and the rest of the DE team really do an outstanding job of balancing everything out to get the most out of each weekend. I am right now in green but I have a couple of DE's and other types of track time under my belt and just as Chris mentioned I can see how it would be overwhelming for the brand new driver especially if it's his first time by having too many cars on track with combined green/blue groups. I agree with what you commented on by having some type of incentive for instructors to continue to register for and come to the events. I have to say this season I had a couple of good instructors. One was good but I got the feeling he was there to drive first and teach second. My second instructor I had this year was stellar. I got the feeling he was there to teach first and that was his primary reason for being there and if he got to drive then it was just icing on the cake and I really appreciated that so I tried real hard to make him feel like I was not going to waste his time. I believe if students really understand that this is all 100% voluntary and really put forth the effort, RTR or any other region for that matter, will have ZERO problems getting instructors to return. But Eric you're right alot can be said for having more seat time as an added bonus.

That's my $.02
