Totally didn't press record on the fastest lap from the event so this is the next best thing. Overall, I had an amazing time attending @superlapbattle with the @socaldriversclub Race Team family. Can't wait to go back next year!

I'm getting better at video edits.

I ended up doing a 2:38.5 the session before this but forgot to turn on any of the video capture devices or mics so this is what you get.
