Default Sight and sound from 2010 ALMS Laguna Seca

Wow, what an amazing race! There is nothing like a healthy dose of ear popping race car exhaust note without sound limit at Laguna Seca. Prototypes are quiet as a mouse and GT cars are loud as thunder. It was a breezy freezing Saturday but seeing Flying Lizard GT3 RSR battling for position all the way from 8th warms your heart.

Laguna Seca is a blast to drive and great fun to watch from grand stand to crockscrew. You just need to dress like an Eskimo

I won't spoil the fun for those that wait to watch later broadcast on Speed channel. Here is the link to the results for those interested: 2010 ALMS Laguna Seca results

OK, here are some pictures I took from the race. I will post video once I have a chance to go through it.

Best looking Vette ever!





Flamingo dance crew





2010 Cup car in service





Mothers wax booth with Fred's RS and other













This will scare any enemy in the battle field ...





Crockscrew

Nice pics. I went to LS a couple of times while living out there. Once for big time motorcycle racing and once for open wheel cars when they were still the CART series. Great track and nice setting.

It will be on CBS next Saturday, sometime in the morning I believe.

It was freezing, but great race.

Saw Fred's RS, where was the green RS?

I was only there for the 6-hr and I heard the GT3 Cup races were insanely competitive... Hope those get aired sometime.
