This has gone on now for several weeks, and last night the President of the club approached him and asked that he work on trying to hold his line a little better. His response, "That's my driving style." So now we realize, he's all over the track on purpose. How would you handle this situation? Several have suggested punting him off turn #3 a couple of times till he wakes up, but that's not really the solution we're looking for. Thoughts?

This style comes from watching too much NASCAR racing on Sunday's. They have people up on roof tops telling their drivers which way to dodge to prevent a pass. Assuming the driver is over 18 years old, someone should explain that this is not considered proper etiquette in open wheel style racing. Explain to him the difference between blocking and charging, explain what happens when wheel contact occurs, suggest watching a Q/M video on driving etiquette. If they still can't quite grow up and get with the program, someone should take it upon themselves to make a little more physical attempt to correct his driving style as soon as possible after they exhibit an improper maneuver.
Keep it off the race track.
