Thought I'd share for those who appreciate Laguna Seca's history:


A magazine i found. 1961, Sports Car Graphic 50 cents. Obviously before Americans got sue-happy "wahhh your race car hit me! WAHHHH"



Connecting turn 2 to uphill 5, James Dean's Spyder was here. Yet Laguna Seca carelessly paves over it



I want to get a hold of these!



In this, you can see were the track passes turn two onto the uphill. so cool.

ANd here is the "look inside" link from Amazon which has a ton of cool pics.

Those were the days

Anyone else have photos?

 

cool, yea I got a bunch of old car magazines of my pops.

 

i love leguna secca

 

Yeah my pops has loads of photos from the late 60's to mid-late 70's from Laguna. He used to support a couple guys who had a pair of 289 Cobras they raced down there constantly, and has albums of paddock photos and some track pics of the Cobras as well as a couple of his Ferraris and such. One in particular - a '67 330GTC, is silver and just so awesome - but he said as nice as it was his favorite car on the track was his Datsun 510. I'll see if he can scan some of them - and I think I might have a couple kicking about as well.

 

Good god man it's Laguna Seca. Yes it's important. Who's car is that, and why does it have Hawaii Safety Check stickers on it?

 

that's just too cool! there are times when i feel so lucky for living so close to Laguna Seca.

 

anyone heading out there in august for historics?

 

MINE !!!!

i always thing SCCA racing and put the extra C in

 

thinking of it. always wanted to.

 

Always wanted to but never had the time nor the money. I'll be there in Oct. for ALMS though.

 

One of the coolest tracks in the world IMO. My fave.

 

laguna is so sweet, it pisses me off people move next to a race track then complain about the noise

 

That would be awesome to see those albums!

Legume Salsa?

Yeah, Track day pricing is awesome. It costs the same to track day any track in CA once gas is added up! I've always contemplated whether or not Laguna Seca should be my first track day. Some walls seem pretty close! haha.

Those people are called F***s. Same story with Hollister Hills OHV park. It's been there for decades, yet people move in and complain about dirtbike echos wahhhhhh

Historics would be cool to see, even though half of them are yupsters driving their winning auction bid around the track at 30 mph haha.

You couldn't give me all the classic cars there, I'd rather go back in time and race the old track!

Riverside raceway looked awesome too.

I'd definitely be on the Datsun race team if i had to pick haha.

 

agreed

the dumb asses like that killed pomona raceway

 

riverside race way ahd the fastest turn in the west
