Default Laguna Seca with my Mom.

I thought you guys would enjoy this, took my Mom around the track. Only mods are Cobalt race pads and a set of Hoosiers.

That was great, made me think of my Mom! It got really good around the middle when you got your tires warmed up, thanks for sharing.

That was very funny I give her alot of credit for even getting in the car. Looks like some of the reactions for some of my first time passengers They are usually horrified when you jump on it for the first time. Love the reactions.

Absolutely AWESOME. I took my mom for a ride on the streets near my office when I bought my car. Never got out of 2nd gear and I think she soiled herself. Great video and thanks for sharing!!!

Score one for Go Pro cameras!!! Great video to save always. I recently took the course at Spring Mountain; my first time on a track. By the second day I was getting over nerves about whether the car could handle the g-forces in the turns. Feeling pretty good....then they had us ride along with an instructor. It was then I realized what these cars can really do and I suspect my reaction to riding with the instructor was just like your Mom!!!!!!!

Great vid on so many levels. It's an instant classic in my book. Give your Mom a hug- after that she deserves it! I'm guessing that she's not a big fan of the corkscrew!

Hahaha, that was the best laugh I've had in awhile! I love when she goes, "Ohh no, you better not take a video of me!!" LOL


BTW - How the hell did you convince her to go in the first place??
