Here's a lap of T-Hill in a C5 using the bypass on the hill.
Bill's a former student of mine, very fast. He won the race on Sunday. |

Can you tell that they are going to be fast when you are teaching them? Just curious: my laps around racecourses are at much slower speeds ... |

The guys/gals that have the talent that shows up right away are at about 5% on my students ( the drivers who improve in a day with a good instructor are about 80%, the drivers that have a hard time are at about 15%). The instructor makes a big difference. In Bill's case, he had only 2 HPDE events when he hired me for a private day. I knew after only 2 laps that he had talent, car control and followed instructions. He was fairly fast by the middle of the day. Mostly, his car control was above average. I knew he was going to do well when he started racing. |

ThunderHill has a very long straightaway so I'd guess 140. Don't matter if the windshield is cracked, Bill Has an extra blue C5 with full cage, coilovers, etc. |

Sure, come on out. I even have an intercom so you can hear me babble while you drive.
