Well, today put another great Spring HMSA event at Laguna Seca Raceway into the books. I attended as a spectator, not as a driver or crew, so I had lots of time to visit with friends, take pictures, and watch some great racing. This year's featured race group was the 2.5 Trans Am class, resurrecting the epic small bore battles at Laguna Seca during the early 70's. There were … [Read more...] about HMSA 2.5 TRANS AM SPRING ’13
