Default $245 Laguna Seca

I have no affiliation with the Golden Gate Lotus Club but they need more drivers for their Dec 26 Laguna Seca event or they will have to cancel.

My only interest is in going.

You can get details and enter at:

Hey!

I got some good video off my rear cam of you and the white GT3 running around in a session at Thunderhill and the Exhibition race. I recognize your red gloves and white helmet in your avitar , from the video!

That was a good day.

mark, i was in the white GT3, desperately trying to keep you and dave (black GT3 behind you) in sight. but blocking that little radical distracted me (hey, i always have excuses).

wish i had more time to chat with you, but your car was at the other end of the paddock. after resting, bench racing and working on my car, i keep forgetting to visit your famous shark.

post the video. i like the beginning part where i was still in the camera LOL

That was some fun. I only had a short time to check out your cars as i was busy having the other guys trying to make me sick. (actually, the rides with the students were a blast). Good meeting you guys! I like the fact that you have some fast race cars that you still can truely drive on the street. very cool!
I think if i didnt put the new motor in 3 races ago we could have had a real close battle. You were playing with me under braking weren't you? By the way what kind of pads were you and the boys using?

Also, did you see my slide in 8 on the second lap? it felt a lot worse than the video showed. I put some bigger tires up front and it made the car act a little strange at the same lap times.

Here is the video from the practice and the race.

Let me know when you guys are out next.

Cool! thanks for posting.

I knew Mark was going to be faster so before the race i told him to slow down so we could at least get some footage!

Great video Mark.

It also seemed like they could have swapped positions a bit under braking, then again under power.

Boy your 928 really seems to rock, fun to see!
