Pictures from the ALMS @ Laguna (long)
First off, I want to thank Steve Sherwood for organizing the Audi Corral. We had a great spot on turn 5. The day started (as usual with me sleeping through the alarm - yikes!!!) by meeting some Audi brethren at the KK in Mountain View before the drive to Laguna. We were greeted with the morning warm-ups.... (note to self - bring ear plugs next time)
Wandered into the paddock area and took some pics... Can you spot the DV's??? <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/FindtheDV-or.jpg"> I saw Pirro talking to Mario Andretti... (could not get a better shot as someone always blocked my view) <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/PiroandAndretti-or.jpg"> Team Panoz has one LOUD car... they fired it up right there in the paddock.. <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/TeamPanozinPaddock-or.jpg"> Outside the Team Panoz tent, they had one of these.... beautiful car... <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/PanozEsperante-or.jpg"> Of course there had to be a Lambo parked somewhere.... <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/LamboVT-or.jpg"> Race-day only special for $295K... I think the color was putrid...yech! <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/redlamboint-or.jpg"> On the way back to the car corral, I nearly dropped my camera from laughing so hard!! <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/GermanRicer-or.jpg"> Can anyone spot the lone TT? (I was disappointed to be the only one) <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/spottheTT-or.jpg"> We set up the lawn chairs and had a great time.... <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/trackside-or.jpg"> This was our view.. <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/viewfromseats-or.jpg"> I was amazed at how quiet the R8's were when they lapped... <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/1Audiinturn5-or.jpg"> And how loud these guys were ;) <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/51panoz-or.jpg"> I laughed every time "The Shoe" drove by.... <img src="http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/19479/34328/DinanClownshoe-or.jpg"> Overall, I had a blast!!! This was a first for me - ALMS race and being at Laguna Seca... I had no idea that I was that close to the corkscrew... had I known, I would have taken some shots from there.... Next time!

Re: Loud Panoz
Have good memories of watching the Panoz's beat the BMW's at the Petit LeMans at the "home" track a couple years ago...
the sound of that Panoz is religion :-) M.Smith |
