We all have different opinions and learning styles. Just because you haven't rode at a certain track, does not make you a "NOVICE". My opinion. And as a paying customer this is how I felt.
I just jumped back into the track after a long layoff. Did a track day at Texas World Speedway with Ride Smart. I was blown away with the technology that group used. In the past a instructor would say "you are off line in turn three and parking it turn 12--carry more speed", and the student would reply "No I'm not". Ride Smart coaches actually follows with go-pro's, then sitting in a air condition classroom is mandatory after each session. The coaches would dissect your video---and videos don't lie! Gradually throughout the day they would loosen up on the passing rules. If you came up to a group that was being "coached", a clean pass of the whole group was expected--or get the wrath. There is room for improvement how they run the novice group---in my opinion.
