Guys,
I have been instructiong for 4 years at 4 different driving schools(including HPDE) and at every instructors meeting we are told the same thing. If you are uncomfortable with your student than pull in and get out of their car and get them another instructor. The same holds true for students, if you can't stand your instructor pull into the pits and tell them to get out. They will find you an instructor you can get along with.
Most Open Track, HPDE instructors are just experienced drivers(who get free track time) and few are trained at instructing.
That woman instructor who was yelling at you guys may be a great driver but she is clueless about instructing.

Give it another try and tell that woman she would be better at serving refreshments to the students.
