Default USCA @ Laguna Seca

I am a newbie to road course driving & figured I would share another video I have from USCA @ Laguna Seca.. This was my 3rd time driving the Challenger on the road course so it took me a bit to get comfortable to get @ speed.. Later when I got back from the event & saw the video I recognized all my errors that I was making.. Hugging the turns instead of floating out & scrub off speed.. The cork screw I was off on my lines but that is where I felt comfortable driving it.. Also was only driving in 2nd & 3rd gear.. If I would have found 4th gear I would have carried more speed.. I really enjoy driving on the road course hope to get more seat time soon!

At the end of the video you will see Greg Weld giving a thumbs up approval!

Awesome video!

Im pretty jealous of you guys that get to hit the road course like this. I think the only closest track to me is Gingerman and I didn't see anything on their calendar that represented this type of event.

Didn't you drive a car on the road course at RTTC like 2+ years ago? Don't sound like a newbie anymore to me....

Your lines didn't look bad. Sure you could of gone wider, but this was your 1st time on the track. You're looking good for Fontana. Good luck, and stay low!
Oh yeah, 4th gear is only for showoffs.
