PB lap from the perfect morning sessions , I mean weather was perfect and the lap time and track surface agreed with the car. Every other session was about a second slower.
I had a great time hanging with the Socal 86 Cup Crew and with friends.
I kept hitting fuel cut on a few turns and that kept killing my rhythm and lap times. going to try and solve that for next time but enjoy the lap.
