Viper Days scheduled an event this weekend and I took my daughter Betsy to the track. I didn't race, but did track the Viper for the first time. The Kumhos were very unhappy till the 2nd or 3rd lap, but they did bite well after that. After two slower-than-molasses sessions I learned the track and the car well enough to turn some really good times. Unfortunately for me and a host of others, the guy assigned to monitor the transponders was off at another meeting so that none of the 3rd session times (solo/instructor class) were recorded. Two street Vipers made contact with a wall, one slightly and the other pretty hard, but no one was hurt. I am happy to have not hit anything or anyone. I did get to pass a few and get passed by a bunch. There were some incredibly fast cars out yesterday! Only one of them crashed and burned-just after he passed me on the straight.
Still, it was a great day, great weather, great track and a great father/daughter weekend. Betsy is planning on tracking my miata solo at Circuit Grand Bayou on mother's day, and I might just take the Viper for a spin as well.
Do any of you other guys have adult or teenage daughters who like driving on the track? How cool is THAT?

Yes, my daughter loves the track and has been breaking my head to let her race for 5 or 6 years now, ain't gonna happen though......
Back 6 or 7 years ago, when I was doing lapping days and a DE school for my comp license, she came to a lapping day and drove my 65 fastback and a 95 Mustang on track. She probably logged 50 laps all total that day. She has driven a few times and riden as many.........
She loves it and would race tomorrow if I would let her and she could afford it, which she can't....she's now 24 years old......
