Good Monring!

I spent the weekend in Monterey, CA at the American LeMans Series races. What an amazing weekend!

When I got in on Friday afternoon, I headed over to world famous Pebble Beach golf course - about 10min. frome where I was staying in Monterey.

Here's a shot from the breath taking 18th hole - I never imagined I'd ever stand on the tee at Pebble Beach:



Here's a couple from the green side of the hole.





Here's Yours Truly soaking up the atmosphere at one of the greatest golf venues in history:



The next day we headed over to the track. I've raced Laguna Seca many times on good 'ole Xbox, but I NEVER thought I'd have the opportunity actually be in the pitts at Leguna. What a thrill!



The watch company Jean Richard (sister company to Girard-Peregaux) is not only a sponsor of IMSA and the American LeMans series, but also sponsors a car in the race - the blue car in front her is theirs:



Here's a shot of the Jean Richard car in action:



Here's a few action shots of the BMW cars and the Ferrari cars (neither team did particularly well as Audi won the event and Team Corvette also had a strong showing - but I love BMW and Ferrari just the same!). Most of my "action shots" were taken from the famous "cork screw" section at Laguna:









Check out the Porsche car who took the turn a bit too sharply and spun out in the sand:



Here's another of my favorite cars:



It was a truly once in a lifetime experience - many thanks to Jean Richard for the invitation to the event!

Thanks guys - Ferrari must have had about 50 examples of their cars on island in the infield of Launa Seca with one guarded entrance. The folks from Jean Richard got us in...what a treat to see all those beautiful Itallian cars.

Great pictures John.


Do you know, what the two words on the the sunshield (front-window) say?



The sense ist good-bye, in combination with an intonation between laughing with a smiley ( ) and a lttle bit barefaced saying "you can't follow me this day"
