Boring race, IMO. I have never seen the appeal of Laguna either. A place like Road America (after safety improvements) would be a far better venue to let those monsters stretch their legs.
Laguna doesnt really have any flow at the pace they are at. Its a point and shoot track. Short straight, 90 corner degree , short straight, 90 degree corner.. repeat until you hit the corkscrew and Rainey Corner... repeat.
I'm sure those that race Laguna have a very different opinion! My view from the Pit Wall in front of the Jumbotron was sure awesome
