Although RTR is my home, I am a green/blue that has run with four regions over the past three years. RTR does a great job, and gives all students the time and respect they deserve. A couple of thoughts:
1) If RTR is trying to spread the joy of deriving at speed, then, the focus should be to get as many people on track as possible. The amount of "yee hah" a driver gets in the first 30 minutes of a DE weekend is much higher than the last 30. I was going to joke that it's like Marriage, but, no, it's not.
2) Please don't merge Green and Blue. Blue is just starting to get it together, but does not yet have the experience necessary to stay out of trouble with raw Green recruits. Speed doesn't kill. Difference in Speed kills.
3) It might be helpful to poll Instructors and Organizers regarding student courtesy, especially regarding time. It seems aggrevating as Hell that a significant number of people are late for required sessions and the all-important Inspection ... and have such an attitude about it too.
