Living the Dream - Laguna Seca

Spent three days driving time trials at Laguna Seca. Weather was clear and sunny in the low-70's - perfect. Total track time: 5hrs 45mins. Car ran great the entire time. Track is very smooth and in excellent condition.

The corkscrew is insane - the ABS would pulse under hard braking as the car unloaded the suspension as you crest the hill before the corkscrew and then its a hard left to enter. As you start to straighten the steering, you can see across the track to the opposite side but can't really see down the hill due to the steep drop. As soon as you start the drop, its time to start turning to the right. Then the g's pile on as you come down the slope and to the right at the same time. Quite a rush!
