That would be great, the more the merrier and much appreciated instead of my dull uneventful pix.
You too will have to add this event to your "bucket list".

(Ken H)

Your Pix are always good Ken H .. as for my Bucket List " One Day Roger Fitch, One Day " as they say - been once need to do it again - just waiting for that " Lotto " ticket to come in..

First the Holden FX [ the Paul Freestone Car that Ken featured ;
The car in the group grid
Some Sports Cars Downtown - I presume in Carmel ..Ken H will know ..
Must tell Tell [ Terry ] I "borrowed " the photo's ;

Mostly Downtown ..

PMO200 a well known Sprite
The Sprite on the track ;
an MG and a " Big " Healey - see Ken H notes on the MG B a works racer Terry raced an early 3000 back in the late 1970's / 80's and also Sprites - he had a business in San Diego called
" The Toy Shop "

Here is Terry [ right ] and his racer back in 1982 at the workshop, with " BMC BOY " [ Ross on the left ] and Bryan Harris [ middle ]- two of my travelling companions, Bryan's wife, Brenda, was the fourth member of the VW Kombi
[ " 751JMG " known as " Chocolate and Custard " ]
Touring group.
Many more to come up to around 50 photo's already " borrowed " - oops !!

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..
