First laps at Laguna Seca

My first trip to Laguna Seca was a learning experience. The good....after Doug Learned Jr and Sr basically had to build a complete car after my Thunderhill crash, the "new" car performed flawlessly. As always there car prep was superb. The bad....I struggled to get comfortable in some of the more technical sections of the track. I was never comfortable enough to carry max speed through Turn 9. And I never carried enough speed through Turn 5 to have a good run through 6 and up the hill to the Corkscrew. End the end I finished 2nd in both races. And we rolled a clean car back on the trailer at the end of the day. But I was well off the track record setting pace of Chuck Horn. I did have some fun wheel to wheel racing with Mike Bernstein both days, finishing just ahead of him on Saturday, and just behind him on Sunday. Looking forward to returning to Laguna Seca in July, and taming those demons that haunted me this weekend.
