maybe you wanted to help out, or maybe you wanted to show off that you could be an instructor, i dunno...like joey said, we've seen instances go bad at racing, and our #1 goal is that we want everyone to go home with themselves and their car in one piece...
if something went bad, and there was a crash- how would we explain it to the insurance company that a novice was out instructing another novice??? the rules are there for a reason, and like them or not, they have to be followed...
if you dont wanna help out, fine...it's up to you...

today was fun, too bad i could'nt get in any fun runs, this was a great course. anyways, to clarify nate's helping me out as an instructor, i missed the walking of the course, so i went in BLIND!! There was no one available to help me, so Nate offered. He honestly was just doing me a favor by helping me nothing more. I never intended to have it an issue and i can fully understand the liabilities. We now know who the instructors should be, and so on.... that said it was fun, and once the swaybar goes on V2's car, i expect to see the black beast out there.

i'm glad that the weather cleared up for us to run. i had fun and just wished that i knew ahead of time that esp was scheduled for the afternoon heats 'cause i was there all day (guess i should have looked at the scca hawaii website). hope to see all of you next month for the test and tune.
