I was at The Thermal Club this weekend working on another story and by chance, the Historic Motor Sports Association was hosting an invitational race at the main track. The pits were packed with classic Allards, BMWs, Elvas, McLarens, and more. It was an amazing collection of cars and racers at one of the most exclusives tracks in the world. I had to jump on a flight but here are a few of my favorite images from the day.
