Default Laguna Seca

I joined a club that rents tracks and runs a track for the day. We have a tow truck, flaggers, etc. There are three groups A,B & R. I call them Advanced, Beginning, and Race. I am in the B group. This is my third event. The B group consists of these cars:

1984 Porsche 911 Carrera (Black w/ Blue trim)

These are not all B group drivers, many are A group with the occasional R driver too. This particular day had 4 drivers that had fewer than 10 track days. Not exactly your normal B group, but Laguna Seca draws a large audience and not everybody gets a ticket before the A group sells out, and A's drive with B group instead.

I had two goals. Learn to double apex turn two and break a two minute lap. I managed both. The double apex requires throttle steering so I'm back to a single apex, and I managed a couple of 1:56.6.

The B group rules are point by passing and no holding up faster cars. You must lift to let them past. This was not strictly adhered to unfortunately.

The 370Z is hard pressed with all the M3's and 911's. The place was littered with Lotus too. This event was Memorial Day. I had a blast and will be back June 17th.

Here are my you tubes. The first two with mentors. The last 30 minutes was lost when the camera turned itself off.
