Tracks are often quite intimidating to even the most experienced street drivers, and being comfortable with the car helps get over this more quickly.
I'm sure she will do fine, and not cause any issues with proper instruction.
IMHO track awarness(flaggers, passing, etc.) is primarily the instructors responsibility in a novice group. The student has way to much new information coming in to handle that additional load. Learning track awarness is part of being a novice....

Dean, you remind me of my last calculus professor. She's been so good for so long at what she does, she's completely forgotten what it's like to
not know it all. I'm still fresh enough that I can remember being new, and being on track with people like me only they had more dangerous cars, and it gives me a little case of nerves a little.
Just to be clear, I'm in no way objecting to Mike's mom coming out and having fun with us. I'n just being overly cautious, and I don't think that's something to apologize for in a high-speed environment.
