World Challenge Laguna in car video

This is a short in car video of the #2 Boos Performance Corvette WC car which I co-own and which is also owned and driven in this race by John Boos. The video is of the start of the race. It was a wild start. You'll see it go into the pea gravel and drive out. What you can't see is that it was forced off the track. http://www.boosperformance.com/video..._start_med.wmv

Another short video from Laguna: http://boosperformance.com/video/sec...estart_med.wmv

Kewl..........I can see where that low brake pedal thing was messing with his heal-n-toe downshift timing.

You sure can tell by the sound that the brake pedal wasn't where it was supposed to be.

That rubber chicken hanging from the mirror got the ride of its life.

I thought it would be nice for everyone to see what a WC race looks like from the back of the back. Lou's videos are always from the front of the pack.

Thanks! Loved the sound. I liked the way he took the Viper before going into the last turn!

Laguna was John's first WC and first Pro race so he was under a "no contact" rule from the SCCA. That and the lack of a good brake pedal meant he had to concede the corners at least on entry. Hopefully we'll run a couple of these races next year and things will be different.
