Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival:  May 17-18-19 2013   (1)

The "SHMF" treated a strong, enthusiastic crowd to nose-to-tail, door-to-door competition at the 26th annual historic-car event organized by General Racing Ltd. in Sonoma.

“We had great weather, safe conditions and everyone had a good time, and that is always our goal,” said Steve Earle, president of General Racing, Ltd., who has organized premier historic car events for four decades. “We are adding new elements to the event each year, as we get familiar with our new home here at the Raceway in Sonoma. This is such an ideal area for car enthusiasts.”

This section features shots from Turns 2 and 4, and from the "esses".  Section (2) focuses on Turns 9 and 10.
