IMS she cut a 2.223, and that was with me sitting in the pass seat!

That was her biggest advantage. She has driven stick since we met 16 years ago. Every car I put her in was a manual! lol The hardest part was trying to keep my mouth shut while she was driving. Of course, I just Couldn't! So I kind of moved her along the learning curve (whether she liked it or not) over a 14 year span.
Now, I was just trying to teach her Good manual driving habits. I had no idea she would eventually ask me to teach her to drive a car down the 1/4 mile. Although she has always been there watching me when I would run the Charger, so maybe not such a stretch.
Anyway, I think that's almost how it has to happen. She asked me, then I asked her if she was sure, and told her Exactly what she was asking meant. That she would have to listen to me telling her Exactly what to do. lol To my amazement, she not only agreed, she was good about it at least 90% of the time
Wanted to get her back out to the track last fall, but just couldn't find the time. She will get back out this year for sure. Just needed a little more seat time and I think it would have all come together.
The Dart is the Perfect car for this as well. Slow enough to learn with, just take it to the track and go before needing any safety equipment like helmets ect. Then once she gets the hang of it, I can slowing turn up the wick and she can learn to handle things as the Dart begins to make more Power.............
