An early-morning drive down to WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for Rennsport Reunion 7 - the largest Porsche-organized fan event in the world. Heritage prototypes from Germany, an impossibly packed paddock, Carrera Cup and PCA Club racing, and eighty thousand fans across four days.

Lovely Saturday on the state park grounds of Laguna Seca, watching Italian masterpieces zip by, accompanied by the mighty roar of V6, V10, and V12 engines. It was my first encounter with the beautiful and powerful FXX and FXX-K Evo cars, the out-of-this-world 499P, and the F2002 F1 car. Plus a nice display of the fresh 296GTB model in vibrant colors.

Lovely season closure at Sonoma Raceway with Velocity Invitational. Historic cars and family friendly entertainment with Lando Norris and Pato O'Ward autograph sessions. Amazing light show - courtesy of low November sun and hilly location. Very well organized and not too crowded event.
