Not to be a dick but your completely wrong.
We've become friends and chat regularly. Since he was an instructor for decades he's been Uber helpful in answering my questions on a damn near real time basis throughout my sessions. He's let me hang out in the shop and watch him work. The other day I was in the shop for 5 hours due to the lazers not aligning properly, he had to do it the old way when he aligned my car. He took the time to stop what he was doing to show me examples of when he turned X bolt this way to note how it impacted camber/toe ECT. He explained how to setup the CEMB system and allowed me to help on limited ocassions.
I was under the car the entire time....
5 hours with plenty of education time is not someone who doesn't want my business. Someone who's been doing alignments for 30 years and has aligned hundreds of cars in SCCCA knows the easiest thing to fix is the car, it's the driver that's difficult. So he tailors the car to the driver with in reason and goes from there. He's agreed to do some ride alongs and offer more instruction.
I'm not a newb and I don't claim to be a track rat. Funding is not there. I'm not overly experienced (couple years) but I have had enough conversations with senior drivers to know I've exceeded expectations for my experience and gender. At 41 I may of learned a thing to two about men, so that's not a factor either.
If I came across harsh I apologize. May in part be due to some other responses on here that got me fired up.
