racing experiences (2) – Laguna Seca

A fascinating week for the Revs Program at Laguna Seca Racetrack.

Coordinated effort to document the driving experience – historic cars – and the community who cherish automotive heritage.

Raising the profile of automotive studies, taking seriously this vital iconic part of the contemporary past.
