Default Laguna Seca sweethearts track day

Hooked on Driving held a Sweetheart's run at Laguna Seca today. One of the attractions was a separate class for the ladies with one on one instruction. Apparently this is the first time Laguna has hosted an all ladies group. In any case, it wasn't all roses and chocolates, as the guys also took their turns on this famous track in what turned out to be perfect weather.

Awwwww, the Corvette guys really are sweethearts - the guys did this while their wives/girlfriends were in driving class.

This Hummer towed an Exige to the track, only to have the Exige expire on the second run of the day. The young lady driving it was crushed.

Brushing up on their skills and dialing in settings, these Ferrari Challenge cars provided eye and ear candy for all.

Having a grand old time through the corkscrew.

Hubby doing much the same, although his group featured some fire breathing monsters like the Camaro in the background.

Feeling like the fox in front of the hounds!

Using ALL the track!

Watching cars come through the corkscrew is almost as much fun as driving it!

Nothing like 11lb wheels and Hoosiers.

Trusty A3 hauls track supplies (ignore icky stock wheels - going skiing next)

The GTV6 is a thing of beauty. If you don't have a wagon chase car to haul tires, this how you do it.

Hats off to the HOD guys and gals, as everything ran very smoothly!

Fun! Looks like you must have had a ton of track time as there is not that many cars there.
