My wife and I went out to Laguna this weekend for the GGR TT. Congrats to Chris and Chuck on their 1-2 finish in BP class! You guys are studs considering all the hassles you had to put up with in fixing your car while at the track!
I had minor mechanical issues (popped a stub axle seal on one of my runs but fixed it and only missed 1 practice session). But overall it was a great experience for our first time at Laguna. My wife took 2nd in GML and I got..........7th out of 8 drivers in GM. I was running 1:55's all day and couldn't put it together going from 7 through 8 and 8A. I just kept lifting and basically coasting through that whole section. Kinda made me mad, but I'm still learning and having a great time! Maybe next time. At least I know the car was capable of running faster...I had one of the TT instructors take it out and he was doing 1:48's right off the bat....I guess I have a ways to go.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I found Laguna a lot tougher to find a rhythm then Thunderhill or Buttonwillow. It was still fun, but I never felt clean on any of my runs.... I recommend the experience to anyone that can drive it! Bill P. |
