I ran in the Mazda Cup series at Laguna and points north a few years ago and was taken by just how competitive that series is. I'm sad to say that my series run ended at Laguna when I, in the throes of the red mist, turned in way too early at turn 3, of course off at track out and then did a lazy spin down the straight towards turn 4 and ended in the tire wall track right. A sad day, indeed. After 20+ years, I'd never had an incident like that and basically sold the car for scrap. Engine and trans were good so I got some cash for them, but that's the last of the competition. SCCA license lapsed that year and obviously not renewed. The meeting with the team CEO DID NOT go well. . .
