"It looked like you were leading a conga line. I think you need to set your mirrors and point people by so that everyone can enjoy their day."
Too true. Have experienced that situation from both ends of the queue. :p:

Hahahahaha.....I laughed out loud when I saw that video, especially when they start talking about the instructor's Miata.
Unfortunately, sometimes people act this way......

I would love to take my S55 to Summit Point (just once...) but I know some guy in Miata would crawl up my pipes in a corner and be stuck behind me while I get ready to break for the next corner. I don't want to be "that guy"

Wow!! I can't tell you how many times I've met this guy in the Porsche Owners Club!! There's a guy in Illinois with a GT 2 who has the stickers on his Daily Driver etc and is the epitome of this.
Love it, a Must watch for any Track Day person. I love the poseurs who wear the driving shoes with their jeans and then act "all that" and then turn the slowest times of the day at AutoBahn in Joliet.
The best part is where he's got a specially modified GT 2 with over 600 HP. (and your point is???) The instructor had a lot more patience than I would. I have seen Miata's with race tires pass Porsche GTs on the corners and at the apex and then only to get take on the straights.
The best part: "It looked like you were leading a conga line."

That's too funny and, unfortunately, all too common. Sometimes, you just wish you brought a '71 Ford LTD wagon to the track, just so you can ram these guys out of the way.
