1) Rolling out for the pace lap
2) Forming up between turns 9 & 10
3) Brent and Kevin battle for position at turn 3

apk919 · 07-16-2009, 09:43 PM

1) Eddie gets it wrong coming out of 11, Peter avoids and takes the position...
2) Brent fights through lapped traffic to take the checkers!

apk919 · 07-16-2009, 09:49 PM

Eddie and I follow a yellow Cup car (Rich or Mike?) until things get hairy on the exit of turn 4...

This track is just historic! All those races you watch on tv at laguna....to drive it is amazing.

The race was exhilirating. Watching richard spin then me...loads of fun. Peter was on my ass the whole way.

kaz · 07-16-2009, 10:56 PM

Epic! Can't wait to hear more throughout the weekend...

Eddie how does your car feel?

Gary(SF) · 07-17-2009, 07:16 AM

Really sorry I couldn't join the fun, maybe next year. Stay safe and enjoy Laguna! How were lap times running? You guys should schedule Inifineon one of these days also.

R'elise Me · 07-17-2009, 05:51 PM

What were the TT times and classes? I see a bevy of new Lotuses in the race grid with w/ single stripes on the bonnet. New drivers?

SteveLevin · 07-17-2009, 06:33 PM

Eddie...the joys of getting gravel out of the car...

BTDT waaay too many times myself.

Thanks again to Jim for another great LCS event!

My time trial laps:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GHt_iv7vvdo&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GHt_iv7vvdo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

EDIT: I've updated the TT video... this version (created in DashWare) is better quality, has gauges to show OBD-II parameters, and includes my enthusiastic response to setting my personal fastest laps of the event.

And thanks to Norm for arranging our use of the pit lane garages... it added yet another level of racing atmosphere to have all the LCS cars side by side in the same garages used by the pro teams (not to mention the practicality and convenience...).
