Track pictures

Transam class at turn nine. Sharp turn - brake, control, accellerate.




















After the hairpin. Getting pictures here is like a video game shooter. Fire away at the shutter and hope you catch one.

Corkscrew. I hiked up there and found some shade. By then the less-than-2000cc 50s racers were on the track - a few shots of the buzz-bombs:

But wait!! There's more
Day 5 continued.
Here we are back in downtown Pacific Grove for the Pacific Grove Ralley. No special rules, pay the entry fee and you are in. Everything here from restorations to daily drivers. I once was going to enter the Firebird, with a tounge in cheek binder full of things like it's Craigslist ad, oil change reciepts, how to fit later rims on an early 4th gen 'bird, etc.

Huh? A Mazda slogan on a 'Stang?


Viper


Unlike my long gone 1977 LTD II Ranchero, there is more than air under the long hood


Another sweet car I lust after.




This is the Chevelle/Elco best body style, IMO
