I took my car down to California and drove at Infineon (Sears Point) and Laguna Seca.
The first day I was down there, we ran Sears Point in the NASCAR configuration in the morning. I'm still really slow because I'm trying to get used to the track. It could have been worse, though. I could have ended up in the wall like the S2000 at the end of the video. I guess a little slow on an unfamilar track is not a bad thing.
That afternoon we switched to the regular configuration. I also ran the regular configuration the next day. So by then I was getting more used to it.
On the cooldown lap of that same session, a Mustang blew up right in front of me.
Two days later I was at Laguna. In retrospect I probably should have gone straight there and driven on Monday, but how was I to know it would rain on Tuesday? Here's a session before it started raining.
After the first few sprinkles started to fall, a lot of people just came right in and packed up. Even though I was on RA1s with no tread, I went back out. The track was only damp, really. I passed a lot of cars.
(The M3 you see come back onto the track in the video was not the only off in that session. It later was black flagged for a car that went off and got beached on the outside of T9.)
