Wanted to share some pictures of some GM products at ALMS 2004 Laguna Seca it's a forum right... and we forum nerds/geeks (call us what you want) love to see pics right? Well.. i do. =))
Here are some pics from American Lemans 2004 at Laguna Seca. I'm a photographer... will be heading down to Portland Lemans 7/29-31 to see the Caddys and the C6Rs.... will also be heading down to Laguna Seca again this year too.
I just saw the sticky's at the top of this forum for the NW car shows... I'll be heading to as many of those to take photos. I'll also be watching for when you guys go out to Pacific Raceways and maybe snag a few shots for all of you as well.
Enjoy!!

Angelini and Pilgrim have been having a hit and miss season this year so far. Last year they were a force to be recconed w/.
I dont want to get into the politics of the World Challenge series but the CTS-V race cars had some serious advantages over the other teams. To make a long story short, the only thing keeping the from running with the C5-R vettes was a C5-R under the hood. They were allowed to use the LS2 intakes when all the vette guys were forced to run the LS6 w/ a restrictor plate. Thats just scratcing the surface though. Now that the C6R is in the World Challenge series it has evened the playing field a bit.
Kimchee, thanks for the pics. You have some m4D sK1lLz with a camera yO! When are you leaving for portland? Maybe we could ride down together since my wife wont be going with me this year.
Oh, almost forgot, Mallet Cars is making a carbon fiber hood for the V cars that matches the CTS-V racer hood

Dang fellas. I just said I thought the caddies looked riced out. Maybe it's the tail? Maybe it's that a CTS just looks like a redesigned Catara or Cimeron to me. I just don't like the design of the car. The XLR though, I love the looks of that thing.
Kimchee: Those are some sweet pictures. If you weren't a pro, I would look to make yourself one.
The C5R looks good to me. I would move out of the way for that thing. But those Caddilacs just don't do it for me. Maybe I'm tainted as a Cadillac purist (they should be big, chromed and more luxurious that anything on the road -- which they have not been since the '70s, or before). Sorry, just my oppinion.

Cool, we'll have to nail down a time to watch it in the near future. I haven't seen it yet either. I caught the end of it and them interviewing Lou, then they showed him going dounuts in the vette! Once I saw his name I thought of you and I searched until I found the next showing and set it up to record.

see my collection get ruined becuase I have neglected them.
