This is just too funny. His wife is freeking out before they even get out of the pit road. The car is a Grand Am Rolex Daytona prototype. I suspect he will never offer to do this again. She will never ask. And the seat and her suit had to be sent to the dry cleaners.

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

Probably so!  I wonder why she kept grabbing her helmet and not the shoulder harness!?!?  I noticed that she had no gloves on; probably would not fit over that rock she already had, and probably hurled at him after the ride LOL

Too funny... I will never give my wife a ride. I would lose all track day privileges.

This last gut should have spent as much time as he could on the curbs to drown out his wife that wouldnt stop talking. These videos make me respect my wife even more. When we did the loops road the only complaint she had was me dropping the front tire off the road on the inside of corners. Other than that she was totally quiet and loved every second.

My wife would have a similar response, just quiet observation.  In a lifetime ago her response to her neighbors house being rocketed was to hide under the bed, not go running down the block in a blind panic screaming!

Inside corner? What's she worried about? Outside corner -- that's a little more concerning.

Ditto. My wife drives plenty fast around corners herself. She never complains if I hammer either car on a twisty road.

This in contrast to my ex who howled at any expression of excessive speed or G-forces.
