Lessons learned, at least on a fwd car, Laguna Seca requires all the oversteer you can dial in your setup as possible. We put some understeer in the car before the race to be on the safe side with it being a new track, but I quickly realized that's the last thing you want to do around here. I also hate placing myself in a position out on track where so much of the situation is out of my control, and that slight contact at the start was a little disconcerting with that inside wall being such a constraint and I'm glad nothing more happened to anyone. I feel bad for these guys however who weren't so fortunate http://www.molaps.com/videos/tommyo_pinball.wmv Can't wait to get back and work on learning this track better.

edit: Z3_GoCar, your car sounds awesome.
