I forgot about the brake failure I had last year. I boiled my sub-par brake fluid and had to get towed--this was in addition to my alternator exploding and blowing out my upper radiator hose, which of course led to overheating . . .
Laguna Seca can be hard on the car; it's a great place to learn about brake fluid boiling points!:bang: Quote:

I'm not ready to make the call quite yet -- but looks like I'll just be driving Gwen's Cayenne out... Calling for 2 days of snow beginning on Tuesday here -- and over the pass on I-80... and even more snow about the time I'd be heading home. Danged If I'm going to risk someone else's life, let alone my own, just to drive for one day. So we shall see.
Either way -- I'd be at the track all day on Friday. |

I'm hoping -- but right now it's not looking real good. I don't have chains for the rig -- and have "steer" tires on the drivers.... so they have zero traction... I'm just not going to risk getting caught in the mountains with something that's not equipped for snow of any kind. That would just flat be negligent on my part. This is one of the reasons I'm toying with a doing a California shop location.... Since I live in the mountains -- and have to drive over them to get to where I use the car! It's a PITA. |
In an heroic effort to make this event -- I've switched plans and I'm driving down via Las Vegas and back up to Carmel..... so leaving a day early (in a couple hours) and heading out. I really don't want to miss this epic track day.

Atta boy! I was actually googling your area thinking if you head far enough south you'll be fine......come to think of it, we hit snow in the high desert south of Wells coming home from SEMA a few years ago. Good luck, maybe pack the AEV snowmobile just in case!:hitaxeonthehead:
