While instructing with NASA Great Lakes at Mid-Ohio on May 25, 2025, I managed to convince my wife, Meredith, to hop in for her first-ever ride-along. Instead of scaring her off with full-send lap times, I backed it down to a smooth 8/10 pace. Still quick, but calm enough to show her why we love this sport. A memorable session filled with smiles, clean lines, and a tiny little missed shift into 5th on the back straight.
