Race By Race - Laguna Seca 1993


Laguna Seca 1993
My first visit to Laguna Seca was in 1993 for the Makita 300 PPG Indy Car World Series race at the Grand Prix of Monterey.

Emerson Fittipaldi took pole position and is seen here, alongside teammate Paul Tracy, leading the field in formation round the final turn before the start of the fog-delayed race.

Two more descend the wide and fast left-hander.

	Paul Tracy locks a wheel and smokes a tire, but that doesn't stop him from going on to win the race in his Marlboro Penske PC93 Chevy V8/C. Photo by Pete.
