I'd love to ride around laguna seca.It looks very exciting with all the changes in elevation. I'm planning on doing a track day in england at donnington park next summer with a british friend of mine.

I'd put Laguna a little over 'exciting.' It was a rather large pucker factor going down the corkscrew for the first time.

having raced Laguna, yes the Corkscrew is quite exciting the first several times. Looks like your diving off a cliff-face the first time....YIKES! Turn one (kink in the front straight) is also good for premier pucker factor as well....

Yeah, turn 1 is also a huge pucker factor because you go up over the hill at around 160+ on the zx-12. You make the hard left.....(At 160 mph, that little kink is a hard left.)...then you realize that a bunch of people slowed down waaaay too early for Turn 2.
Now, that's a huge pucker factor.
