That was a fun event. Interesting that my rear brakes failed after the third
lap. The brake pipe kinked and cracked. Fortunately the fronts held. But the
final turn prior to the front straight was not so much fun. Had to lift and
brake way too early. That's where jerry passed me on the inside. Except he
couldn't hold the line and had a transient off track excursion. What fun in
the rear view. He still had one great race and deservedly won the cup!

Hello Friends,
I completed my first race at Laguna with HMSA's LSR event Tuesday and
Wednesday. This is the event the Kastner Cup ran in 2011.
I qualified towards the front of the pack and had some really fast machines
ahead of me....Maserati Tipo 61, V8 powered Dailu Mk2, Devin Porsche Spyder,
Byers-Volvo Sports Racer, Elva Mk7S.
In the first warm up session on Tuesday, I had a close race with Tom Price in
his ex-David Love Ferrari Testa Rossa. I made 2 passes on him going into 11,
only to be over taken under power going up the main straight. I got by him for
good in the qualifying race when he locked the brakes going into turn 5. I
have good video of close racing with this amazing car. Stay tuned.
Yesterday's final race was relatively uneventful, after I settled in behind an
Alfa Sebring Spider that I could not get around.
I ran a fast lap of 1:56.2 in the qualifying race, but I'm not sure if I
improved on this time on Wednesday, as I haven't obtain the results.
For comparison, I'm wondering what lap times the Triumph racers ran back in
2011. Anyone remember?
Dave H.
