Laguna Seca Pics

Here are a few photos from the Porsche Rennsport gathering two weeks ago at Laguna Seca.  Dave Bundy and I went up Friday and had a great time.  Unlike many vintage races, nearly all the cars racing were really FAST! 

 

There was an unfortunate collision between an ex-Penske ALMS Porsche Spider and a GTP 956 from the 80's.  The Spider ran up the inside of the 956 who didn't see him, the result being the 956 ran off into the tire barrier.  Not much damage to the Spider who was able to continue.  There were numerous "near hits" involving GTP cars due to the limited visibility and in some cases inexperienced drivers.

October 22 Parkfield Tour-by Dennis Harrold

The Central Coast Touring group had a great day on Saturday with perfect weather and smooth roads.  Our destination was lunch at the V6 Grill in Parkfield, the day starting at the Donut Derelict car show in Arroyo Grande.      
Ten of us caravanned to the mission in San Miguel and met another 7 from the northern territory.  From there we enjoyed an hour of spirited driving on the mesa, eventually taking Vineyard Canyon Road to Parkfield. 
 Our lunch was excellent, and we took our time catching up with the news and checking out our rides when we finished.  The more adventurous took Hwy 41 and 229 through Creston back to civilization, while some had other plans for the afternoon.  I suspect that Parkfield will be an annual stop for our group.

The Latest BMWCCA Drive

Here are pictures from the BMWCCA drive on September 18 to Jalama Beach, an almost perfect day.  We were fortunate to have Jerry Zach in his blue Z3 join us from Monterey, and it was great to have Rich and Barb Bacon with us again. 

Our next drive is on October 22 to Parkfield. 

My red 330i may be up for sale in case anyone is interested.  It is a 2006 with the 255 HP version of the N52 that has the 3 stage intake.
