Momma always taught me better late then never so here goes...

McCall Jet Center party/Wed night
Lexus concept car:




Check it out...it's Laguna:




I didn't see Charlie here but I may have missed him though...too many vodka shots,lol.I did see him cruise through the Russo-Steele auction Friday night but I didn't want to bother him.

Some trick Lambo...








Schmacher F-1 car:


Laguna Seca/Saturday
Mario Andretti was the guest of honor and he was reunited with his 1978 Championship-winning John Player Special F-1 car.
Mario ran exhibition laps both Friday & Saturday and you seriously could not get him out of the car.His laps were consistantly in the 1:25/lap range and he made it look easy,no mean feat by a 70 year-old in a 30 year-old car...

Here he is doing a TV interview earlier in the day:


Here he is after his hot laps,musta been 10 deep in all directions...talk about your rockstar status!
I managed to sneak in a side door to capture these:




Got Mario to sign my ticket so that was cool...always pays to bring your own sharpie.

Next up...Trans-Am cars.
