[Fot] first drive at Laguna in TR3

[davehogye]

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.
