True, and that's a common problem in a lot of these events. It's also a problem for the organizers, how to know when someone's ready to move up, especially when they don't have enough instructors to go one on one in the lower groups. Sometimes they'll even say, OK, you have 4 events, you can move up. Makes it tough on both the organizers and drivers. More than once, I've been in the right seat in an advanced group and told my driver to back off and not follow the lines the "advanced" guys were running in front of him because they weren't very good. SCCA had a decent system, the new drivers get a driver's log book that gets filled out by the instructor and signed off by the chief instructor for every event. It's not a real big deal but does show the driver's improvement and gives some indication of when he's ready to move up. We're also starting to teach and evaluate newer instructors. |
