Central Valley Classic Cars

Les and Ben were at the Monterey Sports Car Championship featuring the American Le Mans Series at Leguna Seca in October. Photos by Les Ellis.

Les sent me these pictures shortly after the race, but I’ve been swamped with “day job” (software engineer) and “night job” (proud father of two, honored husband) work…

Here’s a summary of the event:

Short of taking a trip to France, the best way to see the high-speed, high-tech Le Mans Prototypes and GT cars of the American Le Mans Series, patterned after the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans, is in this four-hour endurance challenge. The Saturday afternoon race into the darkness race concludes the season with Le Mans Prototypes from Audi, Porsche, Mazda, Acura, Dodge and Ford battling on the same track with production-based GT cars from Corvette, Porsche, Ferrari and Panoz.
