I think its mostly startle related, but its hard to pin down. She actually is into racing, watched F1 before we got together and has flagged hillclimbs and a lemons race since we got together and didnt have too bad of a time with those. Lemons just wasnt as loud and the hillclimb didnt have many loud cars and it was one car at a time. She also works autocrosses as an organizer with me and has been fine excepting one turbo car with something like an anti-lag system (read launch two step rev limiter with BANGBANGBANG). Hell, shes done ride alongs in Cobra replicas and had a blast. I guess its a combination of startle and when the noise just washes over her.
Yeah, im not the jumpy type, but even a two step will throw me. I cant imagine her case.
