Chuckwalla instruction

Postby Jad on Fri Jan 13, 2012 8:25 pm

At Chuckwalla, i probably wont have my own car, but i still plan on going. If anyone might be interested in hiring me as a full time instructor, just let me know so we can figure out the details.

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!
At BMWCCA instructors get free track time, hotels and meals.
But if I can get paid...count me in!

I'm in. Take a session with me in Orange Run Group, Jad. It's been a while, and I need some tips. ;-)

Long Mike: I have a suit, HANS, and just enough "fear-management" to take you up on the offer. Sounds like a great idea. Is your passenger seat big enough for my 6'3"/210# lard-A$$? Don't want to do the "one-cheek sneak" in a narrow seat. Been there-done that in other's cars. (Some track cars go with very small passenger seats to save weight/room.)

Should be fun ... I promise to keep my eyes open. :roflmao:

Dano thrilled to have ya aboard...as often as you like.
Yeah too small a chalr feels more like a baby's car seat than a race seat. :wink:
As for fit...this new Kirky seat has good head room, fair leg room and fits up to 36 inch waste, you should fit. 8)
Glad you got all the gear and look forward to getting the most out of the track together.
PS you will fit better in my car than I fit in your car. :wink:

Sorry, apparenty my post wasnt clear. In the past, several people have requested that i really spend time and work with them. Normally i am teaching the de school, fixing my car, teaching a couple of students and trying to have fun and work on my driving.

For this event, i was saying i could be available to someone full time to really help them, work with their car, etc, not as a ploy to save some money, while doing the same stuff i do for free at most other events.

If no one is interested for this event, i should be there playing around and can hop in with anyone who likes. Not sure which color group i will be in, but it shouldnt matter much.

OK, Mike. Should be a hoot!

I don't know if I will be assigned a student (That would be a little hairy having not driven the track before), so we'll see how often I can squeeze you into the Black Pearl. As for fit, you'd probably do fine in my car. The Recaro Speed seats are fairly roomy compared to stock seats, and since it's a street car, there are no issues with Kool-suits, electronics, or other items in the passenger area. Based on my videos at other tracks, you should be able able to sit back and snooze through the session in comfort. :roflmao:

Should be a great weekend of weather and driving.

Dano if you have chairs that fit a tall man I'd like to try them. 8)
