Thanks Roger, what I meant is that I don't capture much action or use a good lens etc. My pix are more when they are static or trundling through the pits/ paddock areas.
I have to admit I am a sucker for the IMSA prototypes., such as a Riley & Scott, Lancia Martini LC 2 etc.. so here are a few..

The # 13 car is a 1949 Jaguar Parkinson Special. - [ seen that car before - must have been there in 1982 ]

It has been a month since I was at Laguna and due to delays and other excuses I am still plugging away and it may take another month at this rate. Sorry folks.
