I would not have imagine that a cold, windy and DRIZZLY day at Laguna Seca is going to be PB weather. Thanks to a dedicated run group that Speed SF provided us, I had very little traffic, a lot of clean laps and opportunities to refine my driving. I beat the previous 86 Challenge Street lap record FIVE times, at least once in each of the first three sessions (and then I started to give other people rides), and grabbed my 5th P1 of the season. The car is a joy to drive both on the street and on track, although I wish it had a little more feedback on track (see "top hats" below).
