I’ll have what she’s having

Some Moms have uncomfortable laps.
The Corkscrew* at Laguna Seca will not be denied its fun.

Actually, I’m not sure it’s good to see your Mom’s O-face.

    Looks like she did okay on the straightaways, the curves did her in.
    Isn’t that how every parent feels the first time their kid takes them out on the road?

    She stuck it out. Good for her.
    Have a look here for a fast lap of the ‘Ring. It’s one of the better videos I’ve seen of a fast lap, because the camera never leaves the driver’s viewpoint, the speeds and gears run the gamut, there is traffic, about a hundred turns and a pic-in-pic to see how busy the driver is.

    No offense to all y’all.

    Running from 9.2K to 14.2K altitude over ragged asphalt to rotten, crusty decomposing granite road bed, back to asphalt, then more dirt with snow melt slick corners and straights, while one’s ears are popping and one’s breath is clawing for more “O”2 at nearly 3 miles high…..The Ring or most other civilized courses seem way too tame to this ol’ mountain goat.

    Here’s a better look at Tajima’s run:

    Love it when he busts thru rock strewn corners, hay bales and undergrowth.
