Took Rachel and Elwood to Nelson Ledges. It was the track day debut of both.
After the driver meeting, Rachel and the other track day newbies received a little instruction:

The first session we just followed the instructor which was about 1:50 pace. In the second session we went at her speed at she sped up to 1:34 pace. In her first afternoon stint she improved to 1:31.88. Then I took a turn at the wheel and was able to get to 1:31.68. And for the last stint of the day Rachel took what she learned from my stint and was able to get to 1:31.63
I think she'd be a second faster with a seat that had some side bolster! Or just bunjee her down to keep her from sliding around. Now to learn stick shift in the race car. Awesome!
