That bad part is when they are douches themselves, seen a CR take out a paying customer.

Kyle played with a CR one time as well. It was pretty funny.

Yup, a friend of mine decided that he wouldn't root for a local racer, who was a dick to him at a track day. My friend was an amateur racer, at the time, and was pulling some fast but legal passes, by the trackday's rules, but the control rider/racer almost punted him off the track to 'teach him a lesson', or something.

Damn...

The one I saw the CR couldnt keep up without riding above his head. So he rode above his head and took the dude out when he tried to pass him.

This was a top 10 National series rider. Fast like cheetah; smart like streetcar. He's always been a nice guy to me. In this case my buddy was exiting a corner behind him and the CR kept looking over his shoulder, then pulling little wheelies that pushed him towards the outside.... and my buddy. And the wall.

What org was that? Did you see it in person or on video? I vaguely remember seeing something like that on video a couple years back.

The last 3 trackdays out here, a control rider has gone down.
I don't know why that's funny to me, but it is.

They are just normal riders like us, usually they are or become friends with the providers by doing a lot of days with them.

The beginner ones are usually pretty good, because all they do is teach the entire day and not after trying to make laps or be douchers. The intermediate and above are usually just dudes wanting free track time.

Oh, I realize that. I just find it humorous that the CR's chuck it through the corners pretty regularly. Might be because they act so douchey, compared to the rest of the guys working for track time.
