[QUOTE="jbp99cobra, post: 13468169, member: 23462"] Let me first say that I really enjoy working with students and can tell the pride a student has in all of the work they have done to their car to make it theirs. I have been in everything from a bone-stock car to a fully race-prepped car. With that being said... if you want to learn, do yourself (& your instructor) a favor and keep the exhaust relatively quiet. Yes, we can use hand signals in the event the exhaust is too loud or the communicator breaks, but is it really f'ing difficult to put a muffler on your car??? I was in a student's car this weekend (straight piped honda) and the exhaust was so loud that he couldn't hear a thing I said. On top of that, he was scared sh**less of the track, so he didn't pay attention to my hand signals. We did a download session each time and even came into the pit, but he just didn't get it. He ended up leaving and didn't come back the next day. While his mental state didn't help, I feel the lack of verbal communication was the biggest obstacle in this scenario. I was unable to calm him down while driving or prep him for what was coming next. He was my first student that was truly OSB. [/QUOTE]
