La Carrera Panamericana 2006 pictures
December 4, 2006
2,795 pictures of La Carrera Panamericana 2006 are now online. I feel lazy, because there are another 3,000 or so in the oven. I am still uploading, but the dedicated upload mac is asking for a rest!
I could have narrowed it down to the best 10, and they would have been some all time great pictures … but I know all the participants want to see themselves in action … even out of focus if their car is involved… so here they are! Picturas!
2006.11.16 Monterey - La Carrera 2006 has ended!
November 16, 2006
It has been very tough to keep up with the blogging due to the hectic travel schedule!
Today, La Carrera Panamericana completed the 2006 running with the finish in Monterey!
The awards ceremony is mere minutes away at the Fiesta Americana Hotel, so I am going to have to post here later.
There have been no major accidents today.
Rachel Larratt has won the inaugural Unlimited Class at La Carrera Panamericana. It is thought at this point that she has placed 9th overall in the overall standings, however she is not eligible to be formally placed in these standings with the historic categories.
Rachel’s car is now on display at the FIAT of Monterey open celebrations.
More to follow later … probably tomorrow, as we will be celebrating all through the night!

2006.11.14 Morelia to Aguascalientes
November 16, 2006
In the morning, we left Morelia and headed back to Mil Cumbres to race again. As the drivers had come to respect the mountain the day before, today was a havoc free day of racing … more or less.
I have been spending the majority of my time driving with the Federal Highway Patrol, which means some wonderful legal rides on all sides of the highway with lights and sirens blaring … even though the Corvettes drown out the siren with their fire breathing engines! (PS Alex Roy … eat your heart out)
Bill Shanahan and Murray Smith in the beautifully executed Historica “C” #388 Corvette driving in Morelia:

Sam and Dave needed some help warming their car up, so I helped out:

Rachel Larratt with Pierre de Thoisy two positions behind her. Pierre has won La Carrera overall for the last six years. Comfort level of having Pierre behind you on Mil Cumbres? Zero. Rachel kept Pierre behind her, however! WAY TO GO RACHEL!

2006.11.13 Mil Cumbres • Jaguar Historica “B”
November 15, 2006
Mil Cumbres is “1,000 turns”
Unfortunatly the Jaguar roadster team #300 of Erich Schellinger and Joshua Chousal had a bad crash. The co•piloto is Joshua Chousal, a 19 year old that was badly injured.
All of you watching this please take a moment to address this young man and wish his family and him the best. All of us here have taken a moment to wish him well.
