Sunday's Race at HMSA's Spring 2010 event at Laguna Seca, Monterey CA. This was my race on Sunday. The car ran really well considering we had to change the cylinder head overnight. Had a great battle with Pat and he Elva until the last lap when I broke a rocker :(
Don Racine driving the Bumble Bee Mini Cooper, Robert Hoemke driving the Purple People Eater and Dennis Racine in the Monty Mini. This was HMSA's Spring 2010 event at Laguna Seca April 25. Sunday Morning Warm-up race.
This is Saturday's race. The main view is from the Purple People Eater driven by Robert Hoemke and Dennis Racine driving the Monty Mini in the top PIP. HMSA doesn't do timmed qualifying, it's all first come first serve to the grid, so we were pretty early and got good starting positions :) Had a great time until the head gasket blew on the Monty.
