The Laguna Seca Invitational 2016 was staged May 31 to June 1 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The two-day Historic Motor Sports Association (HMSA) event saw a selection of historic racing cars challenge the 11-turn, 2.238-mile road course in Salinas, California.
HMSA’s June LSR Invitational once again attracted some amazing cars, such as Steven Read’s 1972 Ferrari 312PB; Erickson Shirley’s 1959 Lister Costin; Ned Spieker’s 1957 Maserati 200SI; Beau DeBard’s 1971 McLaren M8E; Chris Farrell’s 1982 March 821; Tom Byrnes’ 1964 Brabham BT8; Ranson Webster’s 1976 Porsche 935 K3 and 1961 Porsche Abarth Carrera GTL and the trio of Shelby 289 Cobras from the Park family.

Really nice photos Dennis! Great balance between motion blur and sharpness.
Oh wow – and those squirrel shots !!!
Hi Dennis,
Great stuff as always – love your style of close-ups as opposed to ‘scenery shots.’.
Suggestion – For future events, a few more shots at other turns, as I recall you’ve done before at Laguna. Helps others who aren’t familiar with L.S. to get a better feeling for the venue.
Regards,
Pete Lewis
