I have run Laguna with NASA and AROSC in a '74 Spider. I have also run it 
in a Skip Barber formula Dodge.

The Barber instructors had us dual apex turn 2, and it felt fine. When I 
tried it with the Spider, however, it didn't work, and a single apex did.

So, I guess one would take that turn ( at least the first time) using the 
technique best suited to whatever one was used to driving.
