I always enjoy seeing Corvettes either "trundling" from the paddock to the track or just assembled sitting still.
Ed Humus in his 1958 Corvette # 58 approaching the starting grid.
John Wiggans passing by in his 1963 Corvette # 57
Sitting quietly is John Anderson's 1963 Corvette # 27 among a group of Corvettes and a Mustang.

Approaching the home stretch.
Porsche owners always get the best parking spots !

An early Porsche 911 with a priority parking spot !
The distinctive pink 1987 Camaro # 28 of Walter Brown.
The very patriotically painted 1970 Camaro # 48 of Lance Smith.

If only we'd had zero cost digital pics 60 years ago, how different this site would be!
So many missed opportunities, when trying to make a couple of rolls of 36 black and white last the weekend - and a fair chunk of the weekly (youth) wage also spent on processing and the cost of (selective) enlargements prohibitive.

As Lance Smith swings his 1970 Camaro # 48 onto the track one can see that spectator stands were empty due to the Covid restrictions at the time.
That was a shame as they missed out on some great dueling throughout this almost thirty car field of Historic Trans Am cars.
And that was just in one class !
I felt very privileged that I was allowed to enter the track as a team member and I am very grateful to those who arranged it.
My camera battery was not charged as I had hoped so I just snapped away as much as I could between 9 am and 4 pm with a back up phone camera. It has taken a while to format the shots down to TRS requirements so excuse the delay but I think I did a pretty decent job of it.
It may be a while before I get back to a live meet but I'm glad I had this opportunity to share this one day "back at the track".
As the shadows lengthen it is time to say farewell to these magnificently maintained machines.
