He sure had a serious look on his face & I'd love to know what the instructor was thinking LOLOL

Seriously though... that guy is a disaster and menace to those around him. Bad things will likely happen if he continues like that.

The "instructor" is equally fired for his role. Wow.

Watching the video, I don't think the guy was listening to the instructor what-so-ever. Soon as he saw that GT3 he got the red mist and it was all over.

They're called "track days".... he should have gotten black flagged and sent packing. But he'd have never seen a corner worker/starter. LOL

I read that Speed Ventures sent him home after that session. Good on them if that is what happened. Have not ran with SV but they have a good rep for running track days.

None of us know the real story, other than the dude's an idiot. His youtube comments speak to that. There's more to the story I'm betting.

A post I made on the vette forum:

I will say I've been the with an instructor there that only had about a year of track time. When he pointed me in to the pits, I went in (he felt I had the line and wanted to observe from the bridge). Oh, and his top speed in most of the corners and the Roval was faster than this yahoo's (C6 Z51).

Not sure what the facts are of this knucklehead but I'm not jumping to conclusions about SV.

I've run with SV a few times over the years and yes they are a good group.Hope they did send him packing

I read this on the Vette site...

Maybe aFe can confirm/deny, but I don't think this guy was in actually in a Speedventures run group, but a rented aFe Power run group, at a SV day. See here: http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...dway-free.html

Helmet selection pretty much summarizes it.

That 'instructor' should be a jet sprint navigator.

The C7 is amazingly forgiving.

I like the "red mist" comment. That's exactly what happens to some guys. Worse is that this guy is proud of himself, and will forever point to this accomplishment as reason for never needing to learn anymore.
