You would have to sign up and pay the monthly money, but just not race. So I guess 12 bucks a month does it.

After a few laps last night with Bob in a Qualifying session I improved my personal Best in the Solstice from 157.?? to 151.9. Yeah I guess I have learned a few things since I used to race the Solstice. But I think Lino is going to bring the Heat tonight. We might make his start on lap down in a 3 lap event to make things fair.....

I thought 1:59 at laguna was fast with the Solstice. Then saw Rogers time and I just knew I had to go faster. Got down to 1:55.4 then Roger shows up at a Qualifying race and Runs a low 1:51. Damn him!! It did push me to go even faster got it down to a 1:54.0

This is very addicting.

That should make for a pretty close finish.

I went back and ran a few laps at Laguna over the weekend and ended up improving my personal best also. I'm running a hair faster than a 1:51.9.

I'm sure that is a big HAIR. I raced the Solstice last night and was only in the high 52's. Lagauna is so long it is hard to keep it together. But I did end up with a 3rd in a high strength field.

Thats what makes it a challenge. A race is 12 laps and keeping it together for twelve laps is hard. I did have 3rd place finish. I was even pole position on one race but staying in first when there are guys bumping you is hard.

I ran a best of 1:49.04, but still was not the fastest in the practice session. The other guy just edged me out of the top spot with a 1:48.98. But get this... the fastest lap at Laguna in the Solstice for this 2010 Season 3 was a 1:46.2. !!??? Never fails, just when think you're going 10/10ths, someone else comes along and makes you look slow. This fuels the addiction.
