Here are some pictures of the
Monterey Sports Car Championships, September 20-22 2002
The on track pics from the ALMS race are all turn 4, the Speedvision
race pics are turn 6 or the straight before it.
Some pics from the Audi Paddock area. I wandered around their area for
about 15 minutes, hoping to bump into Derek Bell, no such luck though.
They had no problem with me walking around them taking pics, seemed like
a bunch of good guys.
