My Mom Has A Meltdown During A Trackday - And It's All On GoPro

Last Saturday at Thunderhill with NCRC, I convinced my Mom to go out with me for a session. She didn't even make it 1 lap, as you will see. It's freakin' hilarious. Enjoy

Do you torture small animals as well?

Not funny at all.

Good to share your motorsports with your loved one.

You should read some comments on this one:

Relax.. She wanted to go out on a racetrack. I took her out, she panicked at 50 mph, I took her off the track.

And just in case you weren't being sarcastic, she told me to post the video because her "dream is to get on Ellen."

On a less hilarious note, I got some good pics thanks to NCRC's photographer:

I think she wanted to get out because of your car's number.

You're right! That was hilarious!
@ 2:20 "Kelly Clarkson!?!" - used like a swear word.
Next I thought she was going to yell "BOB SAGET!!!"

At times it seemed like she was answering back to the supercharger.

R53 supercharger: "EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
Mom: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"

Last year I took my mom to Minis on the Dragon. I took it slow at first and frequently checked with her. She kept saying she's OK, go faster! Pretty soon I'm really carving it up, and she just loved it. As a passenger, I think I would have gotten sick. lol

I think my favorite part about this whole thing is reading everyone's comments.
