He never does shake me. Instructors said they were all watching me hunt him down.  He was "that guy" in the class that would ask questions that were really just him telling a story and not a question and complain about the car not being set up right and demanding slicks (we all ran PSS) In the end, his fastest lap was like 0.2 sec faster than my fastest, and the car was a full 4-6 seconds faster than mine (depending on which instructor you ask) when driven by instructors.
God, watching that video makes me want to go back. Leaving so much time on the table in some turns. I bet I have another second with a few simple corrections. $3500 though. Which isn't terrible considering I get instruction, a world class track and probably 5 hours of track time ($2-2.5k in consumables alone for me in my car). |
Ron Fellows is totally legit.
PM me; I think I can help you get even faster, meshing together the skillset you've developed in two drastically different cars. Private coaching may be a much better value for you, both in terms of outright cost, and ROI in expanding your skill set.
Do you know what kind of tires you'll be using with the 86?
