Awsome, always a good thing when you leave the ladies with a smile ear to ear. Just out of curiosity, how many women on here actually track cars, or men who bring their ladies along and participate? I know of two who do drivers ed/laps with an instructor at PCA track days.

The lady in the video is new to tracking and seems to be hooked. I brought her and her husband out and they both loved taking their cars out. Niteal also brings his wife out and she does great out there. I think there is enough demand to start something for women. When I ran VCMC, we had a women's only driving school taught mostly by women (we brought in Karen Babb, Carol Leuty, etc. from the USA to teach). It was a huge hit.

My wife goes to Apex events infrequently. I do know Kelly Williams http://www.kellywilliamsracing.com/.
She puts on a ladies only event with Downtown Porsche every year. She also is a lead instructor at BMW Driver training. Her summer daily driver is a 996 GT-3 and I rely on her to give me a yearly humbling experience by driving my car around Mosport.
She's available to instruct and is great at it.

One of the instructors at Calabogie was Tania Bourbonnais, who is an experienced drifter and instructor. I'm sure she would be up for some instructing if this idea gets going.
