 Well, this is it! We finally get to drive at Laguna Seca. This is the
Divers Meeting with Chief Driving Instructor Brian St. Dennis (TX) leading.

the same time in the US. Photo by Tom Croly.

Unfortunately there were a few incidents at the track
today. Luckily nobody was hurt. To prevent any possible insurance problems I've edited all
the pictures of crashed cars so the identifying marks are gone and the owners are not
recognizable. I'm also omitting all names.
  #1 - This car
crunched it's nose. It doesn't look that bad from the outside, but..
...under the hood you can see the paint flaking off where the frame is
bent. Bad news. |
|   #2 - This car went sideways
into a tire wall. Ouch.
Looks bad from either angle.
|
|
|   #3 - This car
smashed the front pretty well.
I don't think the nose mask was designed to handle this kind of
stuff! |
  The car picture above (#3)
again..As if the damage to the front wasn't enough, it spun and kissed the wall with the
rear bumper too.
Another shot of the front. Clearly some serious damage. This car will
almost certainly be totalled by insurance. |
|  These burnout marks in the parking lot were there when we arrived, I
swear!
|
|  Gala Dinner at the hotel. Mexican Buffet - Yum.
|
|  Satch Carlson, editor of BMWCCA's "Roundel" magazine, was the
guest speaker. He's a pretty funny guy!
|
|  Lots of prizes were handed out! Greg Bischoff (CA) won this cool Zanardi
model signed by Shigeru Uehara, Honda Executive Chief Engineer in Japan and the
"Father of the NSX."
|
|  As usual, the racing game in the hotel game room is busy...
|
|  There are some funny comments on the message board if you can make them
out in this picture.
|
|  John Trevor Wolff (CA) models the "Powered By Honda" tie he won
during the after-dinner prize giveaway. Looking good, John!
