Default Laguna 105

Been toying with doing this event even though
I am running there on Nov 1st... no sound limit day
You guys may suck me into it... wish I would have done
the 5 mile at Thunderhill last week.. I think that is the best
track I have been on

Chad just wanted to let you know that
Laguna is the hardest track I have ever been on for brakes
My Pantera buddy is trying to get his brake upgrade done
before the Nov 1st project.. great equalizer with me and my
Viper buddy as his car is heavier... we run about the same
except in braking at this track... kinda slows him down a bit

I agree with Greg on the Do It part ha ha. Car guys are such enablers...

Thanks for the heads up on the brakes. I will make sure I do a fresh pad change before hitting the track.

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!

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.
