| I decided to go 3 days this year to try and get some different shots of one of our favorite race cars... So of course the car developed transmission problems and only ran 2 ( iirc ) laps on Friday morning. The car was a no show during the afternoon session. Saturday morning I found the car in the pits with the mechanic taking the differential off. I asked if the diff was the issue, and he said that it was the transmission not the diff. I see no spares of anything sitting around. Ugh. Amazingly the car was repaired in time and ran both sessions on Saturday. I tried early on to really try and slow down the shutter speed for the pans, but I was having so many rejects the that the speeds started creeping up and most of the pics started looking like last years, and the years before... etc. Ugh. Guess I should practice more than one event per year! Anyway..... Since #75 didn't come out Friday afternoon, there are way too many pics from the drivers side and way to few from the passenger side over at Nissans at 2015 Monterey Historics. Heading into turn 5 in one of the few pics from Friday morning. You could tell by his pace into the corner that something was amiss. 2 laps and done. 
Friday afternoon in the covered garage. Got ducting? Got water bottle hack? 
Love the alternator location! Only pictures of the rear of the car are all the same, didn't want to be 'that guy' with the camera in everyone's way while they were working. 
Got turbos..? 
Saturday morning approaching turn 6. 
We've got sparks! At the world famous corkscrew. 
And exhaust flames! Tracking out of the corkscrew on the way to turn 9. 
As for all the others... Just the same 'ol Ferrari's, Porsche's, and such can be found over at 2015 Monterey Historics Ferrari GTO into turn 6
