ALMS – Laguna Seca Race Weekend

,

 

Next on the schedule was the Star Mazda series, which is part of a 4 step progression program for future Indy Car drivers.  The usual progression starts with USF2000 and then they move on to the Star Mazda series.  From here the drivers make the jump to Indy Lights which puts them one step away from driving in the IZOD IndyCar Series.  

 

The #11 of Justice Brothers Products/Trademark Garage Floors driven by Connor Dephillippi took the win in the Star Mazda race turning a fast lap of 1:22.735.

 

The IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge is a semi professional race series where drivers can hone their skills in one of the largest single make spec series in North America.  Since every competitor is in essentially the exact same car, the competition is always fierce and the drivers put on a really good show.

 

Henrique Cisneros of NGT Motorsport crossed the finish line only a second in front of Muscle Milk Team Cytosport.  The NGT Motorsport team must be a family affair, because 3 of the 4 NGT cars were driven by a Cisneros – must be nice!

 

Talk about taking the wide line through turn 11!

 

A faulty oil line or fitting must have caused this unfortunate car fire – when it came in to the pits the entire rear driver side corner of the car was on fire as well as the oil it was puking.  Luckily the driver was perfectly OK and the safety crews were able to put out the fire before the car burned down to a useless shell.
