Laguna Seca 1995

Photos from the 1995 Toyota Grand Prix of Monterey, Laguna Seca, California. This year we had grandstand seats on the front straight which gave us an excellent close-up view of the action, but the wire fence made it not so good for photos. Fortunately, Pete Coe brought his massive zoom lens and could get some good shots from the top of the stand. All photos are by him, except the first.
