Im with FP on this one...let her make her own decisions.

Taking her to the track to learn is an awesome choice and you cant go wrong. But its her call on whether to street ride. If shes anything like me, if you said you dont want her to do it or its too dangerous, she'll do it just out of sheer stubbornness!

Depending on the type of woman she is, you may need to sit back and NOT CRITIQUE her at all. Let the instructors do what theyre being paid for and let them teach her what she needs to know. From my own experience and helping others with the basics, it comes across alot better from an outside party than someone close to you when you are trying to learn these skills. Having a naggin hubby or one who means well but wont shut up just isnt a good way to go about it. She may feel pushed or pressured...and then the love for what she's doing wont be there.

Good luck, keep us posted!
