Amanda, you had a great run, major props, and you have a a father who must be awesome and a great influence, you have quite the potential, and the support. Go as far with it as you can, i can tell you enjoy yourself, which is all that matters!

[demoman8581]

[sklyrovka]

[trapped45]

Awesome!! I wish I had started that young too, but my father wasn't having it...However, I did get some time in the mountains the sneaky way until I was old enough to learn I had better take my tail to the track :)

[prdanny1142]

[Jordanjschaecher]

@MegaDucati99 i wanna know how you have enough money to buy a charger like that, but not enough money to buy a camera to film it

[Audi200Monster]

[saleenxxx]

[CCAAASSSCCAAAA]

I want to do something like this with my daughters one day. She's only 8 and she's been into cars since she was around 6. She knows some cars on a name basis. Our friends act surprised when they hear her talk about them.

She also watches/helps me when I do maintenance on my cars. Her dream car is a turbo MR-2 but she's also a fan of vettes.

GO AMANDA!

[therealTOTOfan]

damn i envy her

[TheTheeggmann]

Must be nice.

[insanelewis21]

WOW a vette going around corners!!!

[AngrySackBoy]

Wish my parents had cash like that. Looks like so much fun

[JamesE0300]

[OcVideoTributes]

You sir are the worlds coolest dad for letting your daughter do something like this. and it looks like she thoroughly enjoyed it

[bboy4050]

[AffordableRC]

Your daughter is a badass!

[nowthisis2stupid]

She owned it like a boss. Great job!

[beastn408]

[jhowe67]

[BlackCloudMedic26]

[mrceebees14]

Amanda, don't take this personal, but I think your father wanted a son........REAL BAD! haha just kidding.

Your Dad is cool as heck!

[rm688]

wheres all the mx5 at?

[demomoss]

Dude, I love this video just based on the title alone! This is how I would raise MY little girl! hehe

[Fillz615]

You have a beautiful daughter... but can i date your Camaro? :~

[Gorealaracer38]

@Fillz615 bwwwaaaahhhaaaa!!!!!

[eddohan]

@Fillz615

haha :-)

[MrPeekingpanda]

@Fillz615 *Corvette

[Fillz615]

@MrPeekingpanda No, i'm talking about his '69 Camaro. Not the car in this video, i know it's a Corvette.

[inkmonster0u812]

Thats awesome



[iNicoTECH]

can u be my dad :[

you have awesome cars....dad.

[Robbyrebelous]

damn.. ur an awesome dad

[flip3d]

Sir, I think I'm in love with your daughter.

[pimbuk]

Damn she looked like she did pretty good for being her first autocross plus being 17 and driving a car I assume she has not driven before? Looks like a natural born racer there!

[halomaster985]

I wish I was your daughter, and I'm a guy lol

[MotorHeadGreg]

Awesome, both the car and the girl.

[in4merATP]

Wow, be careful! Double shoulder belts across seats with sloped shoulders & no through-seat holes will cause massive spinal compression injuries in the event of an impact, not to mention that the belts actually spread as your back compresses! You can eventually pop right out the center of them during an impact, just like you were wearing only a lap belt!

[Weridprez]

This girl is awesome. I am vary jealous. And that guy who lent her the corvette is... words can not explain.

[macsrule15]

cute girl that can drive a 6 speed? i think im in love! haha nice work pops! need more dads that can raise a girl like that!

[sallythescorpion]

sweet vid dude, kid can drive!

[jersyboyy]

My mom and I enjoy watching your videos man keep it up one day down the road if I ever grow up settle down and have kids im teach them all how to really drive a car!!

~Jeremy

Us Air Force

[117nathanmyers]

I wish I could find a girl like this. she looks really cool.

[suraxis]

I think it's awesome that you spend "father daughter time" racing around in bloody awesome cars. Can you be my dad too?

[risendudelm]

dayyyuuumm

[WesternShinigami]

Who was more nervous, you or her?

[L3gitwafflez]

Where is this at I have a 1250+HP Supra that i wanna do this with, they dont have these type of things where i live. :( its no fun

[sidefx996]

Awesome! Cool dad, cool daughter. Good for you both!  Sure beats sitting in front of a tv like most kids nowadays...

[FutureMarine246]

"this is just like undeground racing 2!" rofl lucky girl, no autocross near me unfortunately

[buttmanroad]

Safer Car for her anyhoot

[EnergeticAsh]

lovelly sounddddd

[jdubcbr600]

I envy you and your daughters relationship. I just hope when my daughter gets her license (13 now) she wants to go racing with me instead of chasing boys. She really likes going to the drag races and putting around the circle drive out in front of the house in the old car. You guys keep at it and you may just make a driver out of her.I have to say, shes got a good start at it.

[orcaluv]

way to go Amanda! I'd be a proud dad!

[tienshenhan86]

Thanks for leaving comments available after putting up with stupid ppl's comments. I bet this was a cool experience! Something tells me you wanted a boy..lol..but got the best of both worlds!

[schuberthhead]

waw i'm in love ;) lol

[Perspar1]

AHAHAH this is awesome, love that sound

[rodneyrick]

i'd let your cute daughter drive my 96 Z/28

[Doink7898]

Sooooooooooooooo do I have to be rich to date ur daughter?

[ztwntyn8]

wow, totaly different car than she was used to. started with tire spin and then handled thet track. I noticed she chirpped 2nd in the camaro in the other vid. lucky girl..... nice dad.... and the total strangers with the vette lol

[cr1spyk1ll4]

Thats a weird lookin kitchen

[rawlaw1327]

Man, you're a good parent! Keep her out of the kitchen, there are enough good cooks, great driving!

[XClone08]

holy crap dude that was awesome! I'm 17 here as well and i'd kill to have an experience like that. she did great

[pmm01532]

awesome! next Danica Patrick! maybe better!

[EvilKratos89]

i would have died an gone to heaven i love vettes :)

[WhatsUpMan04]

Coolest dad ever.

[edwardiniguez13]

dude, i just saw this girl learning to drive like 10 seconds ago, now she's running laps. they grow up so quick. ha.

[aznboykicks]

is this the UBC auto cross?

[540merlin]

@aznboykicks No. Maple Ridge Airport.

[aznboykicks]

@540merlin Still Awesome! Is there an age requirement?

[540merlin]

@aznboykicks To date my daughter? No, it's more of a financial test. Or if you mean to race it's 16 with parental consent.

[xmodrock]

@540merlin i'd hope it would be more than that X-D financial/personality lol..

[540merlin]

@xmodrock My daughter can worry about personality - I focus more on the financial. Between the two of us, she will do just fine.

[aznboykicks]

@540merlin I mean't for the race. Do you have to pay a fee for doing the race?

[455pontiacfirebird]

@540merlin That's crazy! Very lucky too.

[5970328]

@540merlin yall are too funny. you remind me of my dad haha

[cathorn13lucky]

wait

[andavid]

@540merlin Hahaha Good one... I'm up for the dating thing hahah Just kidding (don't even live in the same country)... btw she does drive quite well for such a young girl, training her for racing?

[andavid]

@540merlin I just noticed, never made an upshift!! maybe not necesary since first gear in a Corvette is taller than most 2nd gears in every day cars...

[nowthisis2stupid]

@andavid Yeah this isn't an upshift downshift kind of track, she did it right.

[502crow]

@540merlin Awesome!



[dragster2085]

@540merlin you are sure lucky she didn't drift at all that would have been a scary experience

[CharlieRottenCore]

I hope if I have a daughter she's that cool one day.

[samsung427]

did she ever come outa first ?

[steveo324xx]

very impressive!!! i could see her doing Le Mans!

[MarineUSA93]

Umm... Can I date your daughter? Lol

[Taylor13371337]

Whats her number?

[540merlin]

@Taylor13371337 In my books, she is number 1.

[wokeupthismorning100]

@540merlin VOICEMAIL?!?!

[540merlin]

@wokeupthismorning100 Clever. It took me a minute to figure that out. :)

[JekHawkins]

And holy cow, she would've killed me through there, I'm sure. Nice run!

[JekHawkins]

To have a dad so into cars at the age of 17 (or earlier...) would have changed my life, guaranteed. You're an awesome dad for sharing your passion with your child!

[yoyo19273]

2:23 favorite line

[CountryBoySC1993]

If you think these cars are fun to drive you should a open wheel race car at Road Atlanta speedway. fun shit right there lol 

[15Joseph]

she is actually a great driver

[itubeyouwatch1]

wow very cool!

[jpitcherwhite346]

900 on spray...no where close on engine. unless you have numbers theres no 540 making 900 on engine unless on alchy

[koringn]

we need more racers in the world... great stuff.

[bendieselable]

SO VERY AWESOME

[mardoxidee]

THIS IS JUST LIKE UNDERGROUND RACING 2!!!!!! haha, awesome.

[yammieR12003]

Its great that you can involve your family in your hobbies. Well done, sir.

[dougoal2]

She never stopped smiling!

[drgonzo767]

I've posted before so you know I like your vids...wow, she did very good, then again you trained her on that beast of a Camaro, so that C6 is an underpowered toy lol. Cool kid, props to you.

[silverado271]

you know that "worlds best dad" mug you get for your dad when you were a kid? well i just robbed it back from my dad, and am sending it strait to you.

[Gtype]

Your daughter is awesome, and you are moreso for encouraging this in the first place. I'm happy to see this kind of thing.

[PowShredder801]

Amazing dad!

[vidal2jz1]

I have nothing but the out most respect for you sir. You are a great father. I will do the same with my kids.....when i have some of course. lol

[67ShelbyMustang500]

Wow she is a lucky gal. I'm glad to see that here are still some real car people out there today. I think you taught her well dad and how I know is cuz of that big smile on her face. I couldn't help but smile either while watching the video.

[rvbgrifrules]

im so fucking jelous

[jim78250]

You're a great DAD!

[noobyouall]

[zeroskaterenjoi]

[jamill79]

[marvintjeehh]

Awsome vid, nice car !

Not many girls around that can handle a stick shift 'vette!

[the13joker]

Before this video got to the 30 second mark , i already think you are one of the coolest dad's out there ,teaching how to drive your 17 yr old daughter for the 1st time in a manual 5 spd , 900hp nitrous breathing muscle car, then teach her how to compete in motorsports, thats cool man!!! i wish more parents where like that .

[djayuknow]

Awesomobile!!!!!! love it =))

[surf403]

Muscle car people are the BEST!!

[KLX1990]

the 540 has drive belts? why not serpentine?

[540merlin]

@KLX1990 They are serpentine and that's what came apart.

[ShnitzlHaus]

wow! canadian lady :) way to go! great skills.

[GetsumJ]

[justjooniin]

[055555555ify]

[xr200r2002]

[snakesonaplane2]

[1969elcamino350]

Wow. a woman that knows how to drive stick and she likes underground racing 2. Im sending you a ring/proposal. I'll let you drive my 69 el camino :)

[540merlin]

@1969elcamino350 Sweet, but don't get your hopes up. If your Camino is on the road, post some new video!

[dieselworld]

LOL thats awesome!

[svtcontour]

She did so well and how nice of those people to lend the car. I bet she will not forget this day :)
