Siging up in the advanced groups requires previous authorization with Speed Ventures so the assumption is that this guy is just lying about his skill level and experience. I've done 8-10 days at Auto Club Speedway, but know my skill level and remain below the advanced groups. Better to work your way up slowly than endanger others and ruin the fun for everyone. So I guess what I am saying is that he deserves it. |

There are some very talented and fast drivers in the advanced/open passing groups. This dude is a liability, who not only doesn't know the line, but wouldn't know to check his mirrors for the guy that's diving in on him. Accidents happen all the time in the open passing groups. I witnessed a guy total his McLaren at AAA last year after mild contact. Someone who sucks balls and then dismisses the lashing that he's getting from other drivers is just an idiot. Period. |

There's always THAT guy. Too bad his parents didn't teach him that actions speak louder than words. Seems pretty simple to me. Be a humble student and it's easy to impress. Egos raise expectations and set you up to fail (whether you think you did or not).

This inspired me to preorder the Xbox1 & PS4. I'll be killing fools in no time, one handed, without even trying

Am I mistaken in that it appears your buddy passed without a point-by from the CTS-V, and also made a somewhat aggresive pass? Regardless of how irritated he was or how bad of a driver he thought the caddy was, from my view of that pass (which is somewhat hard to tell from the clip), I'm not sure how much better he is (at least from a track ettiquette perspective) than the driver you are critiquing.

Got it, guess I've never seen that with any track organizers I've ever run with. The only run groups in all track events I've been in that allow passing anywhere and no point by is strictly for instructor groups. I suppose in that case the passing is probably expected to be more aggressive as well, though I know if it would have been me, I'd have given the "bad driver" a lot more room in passing him.

This event has 5 or 6 groups (classes) on any one day for you to place yourself in. Our point is that this guy mis-selected the highest group, blew it and then continued to think he was great, ignoring important feedback from others around him that if heeded, would have made the track a safer place that day. |
