I did save myself once with a three wheel off by keeping my hands at 3 & 9. Watching a wall approach is no fun either. I came back on straight and not across the track. Knowing where straight is helps.

In the rain I'm usually the fastest car on track, although a lot of that is having real racing rain tires. In this particular case I was already lined up for the time trial with slicks on when it started raining so it was a lot slower for sure and very sketchy. The exit of turn 3 was the only time I would put wheels on the paint as it was more worn down there, anywhere else would result in instant wheel spin.

I've been impressed with the pace you've quickly shown on track, you've definitely picked it up very quickly. I'm also very jealous that you get to drive Lacuna Seca!

Thank you. I would love to extend an invite to you if ever you want to go with me to Laguna Seca. To add to your jealousy, I will be back on June third. This will be the last Laguna till next year.

Sears Point in September, if you are out here by some miracle.
