Paul,
I have a friend, Mike Boone in Laguna Beach, who sent  this photo of
his
brother and him at a track. His dad was an enthusiast.  Do you
recognize the
car and/or the  track?

Thanks,
JimR

Looks like the Chaparral 2E. No idea on  the track.

The fence is the missing  link!!!!

All kidding aside, can you provide the time frame for the  photo?  I
have a friend who has written a book about the lost race  tracks of
California and specifically of the LA area, and he might  recognize the
locale if you provide some additional  info.

Looks like Riverside, taken from the infield overlooking the esses,
somewhere from Turns 3 up to 5. My guess is around Turn 3.

If you know the car you know the year. Doesn't look too crowded,  maybe
practice day, not race day, for the Can-Am.

FYI, I have some chunks of Riverside in my garage.  Some pieces from  the
apex of Turn 2 -- which I always tried to take flat, at least in the
relatively low-powered stuff I drove -- and the apex of Turn 9.  I  always figured
it was important to make the apexes.
