I think the line that says it all is...

"...every other club I run with allows me to do that..."

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

"You have no reguard for personal safety. I didn't let you pass because you would have crashed....or burst into flames".

Heck all the stuff I teach in class room is just what "that guy" is saying in the video.

Passing signals? Hah! that's for the "small people". I tell them that they shouldn't even LOOK in their mirrors for at least 3 laps. then if they see someone there just ignore them as they most certainly were air dropped in and didn't have the skill to catch THEM.

Of course student's should be bumped up in class based on what they say they have done. The fact they are driving below those stated skill levels just means we caught them at a bad time. Probably warming up their slicks. Sure, straight from green to red. No reason to put that pesky instructor in with them. The extra weight will only slow them down. Frankly, I don't even know why we have instructors. What the heck do they know? Probably drive something pitiful like a Miata....or worse a Honda! Those damned cars are just rolling road blocks.

Yep, I'm going to go review my class room presentation material and revise it right now!
