Iā€™ve been through open laps before and raced karts growing up; my father was an instructor at Watkins Glen when I was young. I didnā€™t say anything was wrong with instruction. What I said was, in effect, ā€œI would learn more by riding shotgun with a proā€. Meaningā€¦ I learn more by example than by instruction. I just want to ā€œfeelā€ the line and mode of braking/acceleration in a car with someone who I know drives better and possibly different than me regardless of what track it is done at. Iā€™m not doing it to better my own lap times at BeaveRun. So I could care less about seat time there. Nothing more; nothing less. The key is exactly what youā€™d saidā€¦ ā€œThe guy probably was a better driver than meā€ā€¦ who wouldnā€™t want the opportunity to ride shotgun in that situation, and get free grub out of it, too? EDIT: Trying to edit written word so it doesnā€™t come off as offensive is tough. So Iā€™ll ammend by saying my tone for this post is totally non-confrontational and simply informative. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/marlboro-event-at-beaverun-in-june/190233)._
