The only point I was tryig to make is a “pro” will not necessarily ensure a demonstration of the perfect line if he’s a noob the track. …and your point is correct - in a ridealong, the g-forces that you experience are quite educational and tell you about as much as the line itself.

NP. No one ever reads a written post in the manner the poster may have intended. We all need an “intent” and a “tone” button for posts.  
I’ve done numerous instructor laps and love that experience, even though sometimes I don’t agree with their suggested line in an AWD car. Other than riding with my dad when young (when I really didn’t “take in” what he was doing), I’ve never ridden shotgun with someone who can make the car dance like a pro can. That will be fun. And free. With food. Got my invite; time to start smoking cigarettes (fine print says “limited to recipients who are smokers”)…
