It's starting to look like a Lat-G Mini-Nationals get together. :D

I'm assuming this is the configuration we'll be running:

Would appreciate input regarding the key collection areas. :drive:
Most of the wall scar collection sites I have seen are at 9 and 10 and most of the collect "each other" are 11 and 2.

Lots of good memories. Think the last time I ran at Sonoma was in 06.
Got bumped sideways once in 5 by a buddy of mine, recovered smoothly and kept going.
Passed 3 cars from the inside of 7a heading toward 8 with two wheels off on the passenger side cause I was fired up I wasn't making the lap times I wanted. Took a rash of crap from one of the guys I passed in the paddock for that one. Same day ran a best 1:56 and through a rod bearing doing it. :headspin:

Payton ---


On a "medium budget" --- Maison Fleurie..... Super cute -- walk to everything... small... showing some age but I'd stay there in a heartbeat.

NOTE -- ONLY THE BAKERY BUILDING -- GROUND FLOOR... don't get one of the minuscule rooms upstairs!


http://www.maisonfleurienapa.com


On my budget and where we stay when we are there -- The Meadowood.


You can pretend your newlyweds and do all the stuff that ya shoulda done back then... Take her here and you'll stay married no matter what you do in the future.


http://www.meadowood.com




Around the track -- there's tons of places within a short drive.


Sorry - The Rig (best place on the west coast!) is sold out.

#1 -- I "THINK" we run the short T7 version and I "think" the picture is long T7 version. OUR T7 is basically one big looped turn... You don't try to make a double apex out of it - that's the newb way around.


#2 -- FOR EVERYONE -- there are always open track primers you should read - that are just good general driving info - in fact they should be mandatory IMHO.

#3 -- Track TUTORIALS


Video is okay -- but reading and digesting each corner sticks with you more. Again this is just IMHO.
