Some of my photos from the Historic Races at Laguna Seca are up on Flickr. This was a fantastic event for fans of American motor racing, with cars from many, many eras on display in the paddock and in action on the track.
One of the highlights for me was seeing cars from the legendary Can-Am series, which I had seen in person as a child at Sears Point. These 800-bhp monsters have a very distinctive style of bodywork from manufactures such as McLaren, Lola and Porsche. Unfortunately I was not able to attend on Sunday, when the Can-Am cars were on the track, but I did see some amazing older cars being driven by some very brave men and women!
In addition to seeing these old cars, I was able to indulge my interest in older, black and white photos of historic racing scenes. I love older photos of famous cars from past eras of motor racing, and with so many vintage cars on display, I got a few pics that I quite like.
I also spent several hours refining my on-track photography skills. I'll try to find time to write up some of what I learned.
