John Adams kindly shared some of his photos from the main weekend at Laguna Seca. August 17 2019.

John's photos of the 1965 Ferrari 250 LM Berlinetta GT # 526. Chassis # 6217 Reminds me of the days in 1967 of watching Andy Buchanan driving the David McKay Ferrari 250 LM # 6321. Seen here at Levin. (Hyndman scrapbook..)

p.s. John is the person who is going to show Ray Green where to take action photos at Laguna Seca
(WHEN) Ray comes to visit this "neck of the woods".
