** Laguna Seca Results **

Sorry for the late update on last weekend, but I had a busy week at work. Here are the formal results;

Saturday Race 1:
Qualified 7th of 11
Highest Place: 4th
Finish: DQ (black flagged for excessive sound at 2/3's into the race)

Sunday Race #2:
Qualified 4th of 9
Highest Place: 2nd
Finish: 4th

Overall, I drove and raced well but struggled all weekend with meeting the 92dB sound limit.

I was black flagged repeatedly thru the weekend cutting my practice time to almost nil (2 laps for the entire weekend) and forcing me to qualify while short shifting or staying in the next highest gear to keep the rpm's (and sound) down to an acceptable level.

More on sound to come (and some crazy pictures of what we did to try to mitigate the issue). And of course, racing video!

But when all is said, racing at Laguna Seca is always a great experience since its such a unique track.

Here are a few pic's from the garage...
