The Roaring Season

[ATTACH]20550[/ATTACH]

Its on this weekend, August 16 - 18. This year celebrates 60 years of the Corvette, and there are an impresive list of significant Corvette's that'll be in attendance. But there in an amazing line-up of races taking place for various GT, sports car, sedan, and open wheeler categories. For those who can't be there, I'll be uploading photos from the event here as soon as they become available.

Steve is your reporter and chief photographer the Laguna Limelighter, formerly the Lakeside Limelighter!

Nah, I won't be relying on the Legend Of Lakeside for pics, these will be the official photos as they become available, although Dale will be there, and will no doubt post up some good pics from the event, although they'll probably all be of '69 Mustangs!

Just to kick things off. All photos courtesy Rolex/Stephan Cooper.

Pete, yep JB was there in the Aussie Corvette, finished 5th behind Bruce Canapa in the Corvette Grand Sport, a big block Cobra, and another two Corvettes.

Here is what he posted on his Facebook page along with these photos:

I finished 5th in both of today's races in the Corvette. There were 39 cars in our group. Joe's Corvette was great, no problems at all. It ran like a dream and didn't miss a beat. The 'Big Block Cobras' and the Grand Sport Corvette (which incidentally is worth around $12 million dollars) was driven by a young Columbian dude. They were way too fast for us. It was an awesome experience. Driving on this track is a real honour. I loved it. I can't believe how well organised the event is. It's so efficiently run and the officials are very friendly... living proof you can get the job done and be happy and helpful. I think it's in their culture! Cheers JB[ATTACH]20713[/ATTACH]
