Laguna Seca is a special place for the Herta family, one that looks all the more special flying behind the wheel of an 870-hp behemoth.
: the very same Reynard racer that the elder Herta drove in a CART race win at Laguna Seca 25 years ago.
That car is not only now up and running, it is at the track at Laguna Seca this weekend in a race where Herta is running a livery tribute to his father. Before the race weekend's proceedings actually started, both Hertas got some time to run the 1998 car on track on Wednesday.Marshall Pruett, who also helped put together the original surprise, shows the younger Herta's four flying laps in the car.
Herta gets up to speed immediately when exiting the pit lane, then embarks on four flying laps. He adapts quickly and looks surprisingly comfortable at speed in an unfamiliar car. Pruett reports that he reached the "1 minute, 12-second range" in just four laps, about a second and a half off the fastest lap set during the 1998 race.
. Not only does he have a good chance to change that Sunday, he has a chance to do it in a car wearing the same colors as this very Reynard.
