Carpokes Porsche Forum

Hey Tom:

Thanks very much. I agree, it’s definitely hard to focus. There’s so much going on. Sue and I have been going to the Historics since the early ‘80s, so I’ve learned to temper my excitement. At RS7, we never made it to the grandstands. Any racing we saw was from the various Porsche corrals and infield. However, the pits are always my favorite and that’s usually where we spend most of our time. As you can tell, with the 75th, they did not disappoint.

That's a fact! So glad that you spent the time in the pits and have shared your photos with all of us. Your pics are manna for those of us unable to see these incredible machines and works of art in person.

Friday (the 13th) Finale.

Friday the 13th Deux.

Note RUF Turbo R and Mission X Electric.

Some engine jewelry.

Back to LA via Spreckles.

I had no idea that paddock access would be so wide open for a Reunion. Guests and visitors can be right there!

I know I've worn out "wow", but again, Wow! Your thread is definitely special. Once more, a huge thank you Mike for the great photos and for sharing them with all of us here!

Hi Tim:

Again, my pleasure. As I mentioned, my history with Laguna Seca harkens back to the early days of the Monterey Historics and Prehistorics. The track has always been very spectator-friendly, allowing lots of mingling among fans, drivers, and these special cars.

Great pics! I had the honor of attending this year, and to be perfectly honest it was absolute sensory overload!
