It's too bad none of these events have a live channel like Goodwood always does.
There is a Porsche corral at Laguna but it's sold out for the weekend. I waited too long to sign up which is how I know. There will be a PCA hospitality tent and all PCA members are welcome with ID. I know it will be open Sat-Sun. Not sure about Friday.....

Appears fire actually came from a fishing boat, not a car at Russo Steele, which is in the parking lot.
Ouch!

Mike, did you drive down to Monterey this afternoon? We saw a red 991 GT3 heading south on Highway 1 just past the Highway 68 exit between 4:30 and 5:00 PM and thought it might be you.

Hi John, no it wasn't me. I went past that junction at about 1:30 PM today. Looks like there will be at least two red 991 GT3's down here this week.

Maybe it was MaxLTV

I plan to be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I could only get 'preferred parking' (lot 6?). Porsche corral must have sold out early!

My car is at a mechanic. So I very much hope it was not it. Did it have a hole in the bumper by any chance?

Only the ones it comes with from the factory, so I don't think it was yours on a joy ride! The Guards Red did look great!
