They're all over the place through corners and esses and you can't trust what they're going to do next. To a lesser extent, that even happens in the upper groups but they tend to be much better. I can just imagine how these guys would be on a public road where there aren't flagmen and track workers keeping an eye on them.
The OP stated in one of his posts that we "don't need to worry about him" but it's not him that worries me! It's the family car he drives into on the outside of a blind corner as he comes out too hot! That's how I see it anyway.

That inconsistency is why I never tracked my car in Colorado. Some friends went to a track nearby and I went to watch and these guys in their beaters were all over the place, came close to causing several accidents. I talked about it with my friend who had just gotten a new Boss 302 and he said it was normal for this particular group and that he avoided that time. I never went. I just went to the Bondurant classes and drove their cars. $2K for the class with people interested in learning was a lot less than 200K for my car with a group that thought that it was a demolition derby.
