Posted May 6, 201014 yr comment_318617 Had a great time last weekend at Laguna Seca. Took a long time to shake the cobwebs off the driver which are still there. After finally getting a working set of pads and shoes on the car, I proceeded to screw up qualifying by trying too hard and had to wait it out on the beach. Starting way back in the middle of the pack was actually fun and after three laps was attacking the leaders. Set up the third place car for a standard inside pass in turn 11 when as I popped out I realized we had eaten up the two cars in front of us. Just didn't see that coming. Punted the #2 car off and did some damage to the Z but continued. No marks at all on his car. What a rookie mistake. After looking at the in car video, I'm still amazed at how fast we ate up the other cars while I was tucked behind that one car. Lesson learned - must look farther ahead somehow. Got my act together for the next qualifying and ended way up on the pole. Then dominated the whole race until three turns from the end. As a lapped car parked it in the Corkscrew, #2 caught me. I went left, he went right and got me by .45 sec at the finish. What a bummer and after getting the car set up as close to perfect as possible. Was the only z out there in our group. Sure do wish some others would come out. Did meet some nice folks that either had or used to own Zs. We are planning on running Memorial Day weekend at Pacific Raceway in Kent WA and also June 10 -13 at Laguna Seca. Drive your car out and say hi.
