Some final 2006 ALMS pics
Hi all,
I posted some before, but Forum member "qwk vette" - who I met since he and I won the hot laps in the SSR's - sent me some of the pics he and his wife took. Dave and a bunch of buddies (20+ cars) drove up from Thousand Oaks for the event. The race pics are from Turn Four.
A nice shot from the parade lap.
This is me in the SSR before Cindy Lux took me for a spin.
I'm still spining a bit from that.
Pics of those pesky Aston Martin's
Is that lipstick on 007????
Note the damage to left quarter panel on the C6R. Not pretty.
Bit of traffic on Turn Four
Have to throw in a pic of the Ferrari.
The two C6R's
My favorite. Note the Aston Martin is BEHIND the Corvette - where's it is SUPPOSED to be.
Ok - Thanks qwk vette - I'll be back next year.

Snap shots are good and look nice, but in reality these cars, the fastest class, were hitting 140+mph (I had a speed gun with me) in the straights - brakeing to 80 and turning hard left.
And the noise was....LOUD!
This was Laguna Seca, of course.
