I remember racing at Laguna Seca in the late '90s and there being a lot of people there on race day. Most of those people are still out there somewhere. There's a lot of road racing fans in Northern California, and hopefully they're going to want to come out here this weekend.
To me, going to a race, it's an event. It's almost like going to a movie. Just because you went to a movie last week doesn't mean you don't want to go again this week, if it's a good movie, if it's something you want to see.
I definitely have the experience to be the favorite, which is cool, and I'm comfortable with that. But it's going to take a lot to win this one, and if we do, it will certainly be a fairy-tale finish.
It helps a little, especially in the beginning of the session. But those guys learn the track very quickly, and I haven't been there for four or five years myself so it isn't like I've been running around there lately.
