Laguna Seca Raceway

At the Corkscrew!
Turn 8 at Laguna Seca Raceway! (L to R): 1954 Warrior Bristol(#7),
Jack Perkins, driver; unidentified red car, (but ahead of the rest);
1949 Porsche 356 SL (#112), Charles Forge, driver;
1959 Berkley B95 (#99), Jamie Pfeifer, driver.
Owner /driver Chris Cox in his 1964 Ferrari.
Just One More!

Wes Abendroth fills up the Ferrari between races.
The car was created by Bill Sadler in 1957 and was
later restored in 1988. Mr Abendroth restored it
again in 2004.
Event notes:
This day is not complete without marching up the
hill to the corkscrew. I shot mostly with a medium
zoom lens, and some with a 500mm hand held!
(Yes a tripod would have been better). I used
a fast shutter AND a panning technique.
In roaming around the paddock area, look for cars
of interest(like the Chapparels). When
Champ Car comes back to this track, be on the lookout for
your favorite drivers!
Haagen Dazs has become a tradition before
heading to the parking lot.
