...I bought my boss his first DE event and it is this Saturday at LRP. I re-setup my old Si and I went for a ride with him, as a passenger. He is absolutely unafraid and definately not smooth...the third time in my life I was genuinly scared as a passenger. His instructor will need the Pope's blessing.

If any of you instructors are attending the PDA event this Saturday at LRP and find yourself with a South African in a Red Si, look me up and we'll chat... My Mini is Pure silver with Black TD wheels.

He'll definately listen, but he needs some really good direction BEFORE leaving the paddock. I've already printed the track layout and discussed the line with him along with most do's and dont's.

I definately do not want to ever, ever be an instructor after that ride. I should have let him go by himself. I imagine his style can be likened to a very young, undiciplined Hanns Stuck.
