I dropped into Laguna Seca a few days ago while I was heading back to Canada after a vacation in AZ. We watched the Audi bunch having so much fun that I have convinced my wife to support me in a long haul back down there this season with my SCCA-legal GT1 car. Its just production-based and nowhere near as fast as purpose-built tube-frame 'real' GT1 cars, but I want to try that track before I get much older/fatter/slower. I have joined SCCA-SF Region in preparation, and see three SCCA events listed, one in early May, another in late June and another in early Oct. I could REALLY use some advice as I prep the car and plan the long trip down from British Columbia. Is there anyone on here that intends to compete in one or more of these weekends? This old 'newbie' could use all the local information he can get! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Laguna can be a cold hearted mistress I can tell you THAT from experience! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I just feel bad for Larry and family that they had to experience that in such an intense way! The racing Gods can be cruel, and it REALLY sucks when they decide to come down on you so hard....at the same time! You would think that with the luck he had at the speed shop right in town, his luck would have been golden.....not to be unfortunately.

Larry, I feel so bad for you guys that you struggled with a "bulletproof" part of the car the whole weekend. I have been there trust me....sometimes trouble comes from the most UNLIKELY of sources.

I hope you had SOME fun, and get the chance to come down and have a FUN filled weekend someday! You deserve it!
