			Some nice, smooth laps at Roebling.  I kind of like to have a car or two that's equal to mine to gain experience in traffic.  My "miscue" in T5 in the LS video is because the 911 broke harder than I anticipated and it got me flustered.  But that's how you learn.  Running "qualifying laps" by yourself gives you opportunity to set personal records, but being good in traffic is also a skill to perfect. 
 
That LS session was probably my best session over the 2 days.  I look at the LS videos now and shake my head.  I was slow out of corners.  But I was just beginning my 3rd yr of DEing and 2 days was not a lot of time for me then.  I went to a fairly local track for the 1st time this yr and by the afternoon session on the 1st day had the track figured out.  I imagine thstone watches my LS video and it's like scratching finger nails on a chalk board to him. 
 
I would go back to Laguna Seca again if the opportunity arose, but I enjoy COTA more.  With twenty turns, long straights, and lots of elevations changes, it is a blast to drive.  But getting back to LS to turn some improved laps would also be fun.
