Cool. Brings back memories. Grew up in that area and been to Laguna many times but only as a spectator. Looks like you had one of those gorgeous Monterey days. Fun times. Thanks for posting.

Pardon my ignorance, but do you have to have a cage or roll bar to track a cab? Car looks fantastic.

thanks. For P-car Cabs, a roll cage is not mandatory for track since the pop-up bars come up quite high.

Niel, hit me up the next time you head back out to Monterey, I need to get my fix. What has been your fastest lap time so far?

Sure thing Mike. May do Thunderhill on April 30th. Let me know if you're up to it.
Turn 5 is open this time so no more bypass. Go up the hill then nose-dive straight down to the right while your car lands off-camber. Yikes! It's gonna be treacherous.

Fastest time was 1min 44.8secs. This was during the morning runs(9am) when the temp was still cold.
