Bittersweet moment, when I got home a little after 3 this morning.. So bummed it's over, but so nice to have my wrist back. Thank you Ron, for such an incredible opportunity.

Thousands of photos and hours of video to look through, and the best stuff did not even get covered. Really cannot explain how amazing it is to have your morning coffee while watching, smelling, and listening to a couple gull wing Mercedes and several unbelievable Ferraris pitch sideways through turn 3.. Massive goose bumps.

Thank you Ron, so amazing!!

Here are some of the pictures I took of the Datsuns at the races at Laguna Seca. I took so many I couldn't possibly post them all so here is just a sampling. I will post some pics later from the Mecum auction as well.

Pic #3 is interesting, as it shows how you sit in the Alfa as to opposed to on the Datsun. The Japs may own reliability, but the Italians have certantly perfected style!

The roadster will out handle an Alfa Spider any day of the week. I take care of a beautiful '65 101 series Spider and I do not like the way it drives. The roadster is a much better feeling car.

On the "not so upscale" side of Monterey, DODI Auto Sales had this roadster plus other fine autos for sale.
