Monteray

Arrived in Monteray safe and sound after learning to drive on the right hand side of the road. The weather is a sunny 23 and the accommodation is great.

I am trying to load some photo's and hopfully will have them up soon.

After we settled in we took a drive out to Laguna Seca for a look at the track and pit area. I've been a bit on edge the last week (nerves) and after looking at the course it is pretty daunting. It is open and exposed to the wind, the hills are steep and their is no shortage of them.

Training tip : The best way to kill nerves is to have a look at the course, assess the terrain and conditions. After assessing the course, finding the key points, cross reference these to the training you have done over the last few months. If your training matches your assessment of the course you can relax and go into the race confident you will race to your full potential.

Go Johnny go, we know you've done the work, lay 'em out and see where it falls. Then chuck it in the dog and bring it home!
