Report and photos by Dennis Gray<\/p>\n

The Historic Motors Sports Association (HMSA) held the LSR Invitational event on June 4-5, 2013 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The race weekend offered an interesting and diverse field of 100 historic racing cars circling the 11-turn, 2.238-mile Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca road course in Salinas, California.<\/p>\n

The HMSA LSR Invitational at Laguna Seca 2013 featured many notable entrants, including Jonathan Feiber\u2019s 1960 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage; Erickson Shirley\u2019s 1959 Lister Chevrolet; Ned Spieker’s 1958 Maserati 200Si; Dennis Singleton’s 1968 Porsche 911 T\/R;Neil Alexander’s 1959 Porsche 718 RSK Spyder; Bill Lyon’s 1927 Bugatti Type 35B and 1960 Porsche 718 RS 60 Spyder; four-time Grand Prix motorcycle World Champion Eddie Lawson’s 1975 Osella PA3\/5; Jeff Lotman’s 1937 Jaguar SS-100; Steve and Lynn Park’s Cobras; Loren Liebel’s Porsche 962C; Charles Nearburg’s 1980 Williams FW07B; and last but certainly not least (in any way, shape or form), was Bruce Canepa’s 1972 Porsche 917\/10 Spyder.<\/p>\n

George Follmer piloted this Team Penske L&M Porsche 917\/10 to victory in five of nine races during the 1972 Can-Am season, easily winning the Championship in the process. Powered by a twin-turbo 12 cylinder engine capable of making 1200 horsepower depending on boost, the dominating 917 could accelerate from a standstill to 200mph in 12 seconds and pull until 220mph. Mark Donohue famously quipped, \u201cIt is the only car I have ever driven that spins the tires at 200mph.\u201d This particular 917\/10 Spyder, chassis 917-10-003, sold for $5,830,000 at the 2012 Mecum Monterey<\/a> auction.<\/p>\n
