Great video!

She sounded like she was ready to draw up the divorce papers when she exited!

Glad my wife likes being on track, both driving and riding.

Awesome video. My wife still kicks herself for not going for a ride with Joao in one of the Mosler cars, when we were out at Sebring.

I'm curious what Mariana thinks now, knowing this is what her husband does for a living?

Too bad he's driving a Coyote chassis now

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! She's wearing a race suit from Burt Friselle!!! That's awesome.

And is anyone else having trouble telling the difference between her screaming and the gear whine???

That was funny!

Before this, I almost had my wife convinced to ride a couple laps with me... Not a chance in hell now!

I can't believe she was more freaked about leaving the infield for the oval than she was jumping on the brakes for Turn 1. Hell, I spun the vette off track at TWS with my ex gf in the car as she was as calm as Joao was!

Funny video! I don't think it's a good idea for a passenger to have full face helmet. If she would have thrown-up, it would hae been bad news.

I've made a couple of instructors ill.

I have had both my mother and wife in race cars for rides on the track...while neither was as animated as that....both were NOT in the best frame of mind when we returned to the pits.....hehe. And MUCH yelling did occur during the laps.....don't think either reached out and hit my arm while driving though....wow. Was very fun!

Before my son was born, my wife was a champion passenger. She hung in there with the best!! I felt bad for this woman...but it was cute to see them hold hands. He was trying to comfort her saying everything is OK. Good husband!

The part people are never prepared for, even after I used to warn them, was how hard we brake.

I wonder what she would have done if he was running 10/10s?
