Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion -- Pace, Safety and Spectator Cars, August 2010

The 2010 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion was held Aug. 12 through 15 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. I watched eight of the 10 races that ran on Aug. 14 but had to miss the ones held the next day because I attended the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

This gallery is the second of 10 in my 2010 series on the Motorsports Reunion, formerly called the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races.

I shot the photos in this gallery with a handheld Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 18-200mm VR zoom. Some of them are marked ST, CR or BR in their captions, which indicate that straightening, cropping or brightness adjustments were done. The rest are as-is, straight from the camera, with no post-processing. All have been resized for online viewing.

THE PICTURES HERE CAN ALSO BE VIEWED AS A SELF-ADVANCING SLIDESHOW, BUT MINUS THE TECHNICAL AND OTHER DETAILS. SEE THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THIS WINDOW. HAPPY VIEWING! <<<
