Highlight of the series for me
Damn, that was great fun!
Laguna might be simplistic, but it sure is demanding in such cars as these. Hardly any place to rest, always busy with the car.
Didn't have any practice time during the week, so I had to cram it all in just prior to the race.
I was still making adjustments to the car come race time, and I was worried it'd have unexpected consequences, but seemed to be the right adjustments and the car, though a bit of a handful, was right where I wanted it...forgiving enough, but also fast enough to hang for the most part.
Was clear late in the race I was struggling against Brian in a straightline though, and while I was doing ok keeping up in the windy bits, it didn't matter what I did exiting that final hairpin, he pulled away slightly each and every time. Similar situation when I was running ahead of him.
The little undercut to take P4 was about the last thing I expected, tbh.
That was wild.....had the finish line been another 3-4 feet down the road, I'd still be sitting P5...just got lucky there (well, lucky...and I think Brian overreacted a bit to me moving to the inside at last moment before the hairpin. No way I was diving in there and actually coming out the other side ahead (didn't have the straight line speed to do so)....but, the little move to look like I was seemed to have worked
The lap car to seal the deal didn't hurt either
Anyways, that was great and I had a blast.
Big thanks to the broadcast crew for another great broadcast.
Congrats to top 3!
Now, Imma go ride this high today, because I'm still on it.
Thanks, Brian...and Richard C. while he was in it...for the great racing yesterday, made my weekend.
