at the corkscrew, aim for the middle tree (should have a cone at the bottom of it) and you'll be at the right spot when you are finally able to see the asphalt.

After a few laps, at turn 11 you'll really start to notice brake fade, plan accordingly.

Turn 1 is slightly downhill, but doesn't really matter

At Rainey curve, don't be afraid to give it extra gas and let it push all the way to the outside of the track

The whole track kicks ***

I have a massive break between class and work on Thursdays and pass LS on my way home during that period, so I'll stop by and take some pictures

you wont spin out, I think there was only one spin out when I was on the track and he just went into the dirt on the inside of turn 5 or something

Laguna is a wonderful track. I've found the pace there to be faster than Thunder Hill.
You're going to have a great day.

Welcome to never ending spending.
