[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYNRCfT_Pkg"]Pompous A-hole in a GT3 - YouTube[/ame] That guy was running 2:15, and I run 2:06, but he refused to point me by. Don't let the wide-angle video fool you. I was riding as close to the guy as I could through the corners to make sure he knew I was there. It's sad I have multiple videos of different people acting this way. Unfortunately, this is a common issue regardless of what group you run with. I have seen TMR deal with guys like this and they fight back and deny doing anything wrong. HOD and TMR try their best to stop this kind of garbage, but it still seeps through. TMR does have communication issues through email. Thankfully they now have a better online website Supposedly this kind of behavior is almost nonexistant with CFRA because they are very strict. I've also found it to be less of an issue with NCRC because they actually vet people and sign people off. When I moved to open group, they first had someone ride a few laps with me to 'approve' my move. This was greatly appreciated.

As you said, by referral clubs such as CFRA and PDC are much better about this. Since it's the same fellow members going to the events, you naturally are more courteous to others. |

Already started practicing/reacquainting myself with the course on GT5. I only drove LS once, like 10 years ago.

I made the mistake of riding in a 2 KW VIII equiped 86 and one Tein SRC equiped 86....... night and day difference both in terms of comfort, smoothness and grip. Blew me away. Also blew my wallet away lol
