    That is what I have been saying! Simple Physics.

    I don't see what all the hype is over the track.

    Just a couple more equations to figure out, and I should be Fast(er).

    Both. LAPS calls me an instructor but if I am not working with anyone I consider myself a control rider.

    So lemme get this straight, using that line of thought, you personally are not a racer unless you're out racing? Not an MSF instructor unless you're instructing an MSF course?

    See where this is going?

    Your best bet, IMO, is to work with someone. At least that way they can tell you exactly what's going with your riding rather than you assuming you need to circulate the track at a slower pace in order to learn something.

    Not to be a dick...but from the amount of self criticism you portray, maybe you ought to call yourself a control rider all the time.

    Nobody wants to be taught by someone that is not confident in their own abilities or how to instruct.

    Point taken.

    My self depreciating style does not suit you. I'll let my face to face abilities speak for me.

    If they are willing to listen to someone with such self criticism they will be able to learn something from me.

    I like to get advice from someone who does not take them self to seriously better than someone who acts like there shit don't stink.. There is not a person out there who does not suck compared to someone. Its a breath of fresh air to see the approach of "i'm not perfect but i know enough to help you with this"
