Except that you were consistently beaten by the best two - McColl and Floer - you raced against. As in 1 or 2 wins out of too many races to count. As for McKay - I downloaded all 14 2019 races data. Three of those Dave lost badly. Of the remaining 11 closer races you finished ahead of Dave in 2, Dave ahead in 9, by out-driving you. As always you only look at the data in a way that makes you look as good as possible. From 2019 forward you raced against historically weaker competition, if you raced at all. Teaching and racing are different skill sets. I never said you are not a great teacher. But I do not know. Who were your pupils? Let's see how they performed. Failure to disclose is an admission of failure. How long were you an instructor? Tenure is another metric of success. Year or two, or still instructing?
