Organizers wanted to see how fast cars could go up the legendary corkscrew.
, which can be seen above, gives an impression of the outright performance required to achieve the feat. But perhaps the biggest surprise lies in the fact that the model, which was driven in anger by Ben “The Stig” Collins, is not Lucid’s most potent weapon.just-unveiled Sapphire model
, whose three-motor, 1,200+ horsepower setup will hit zero to 60 mph in under two seconds and reach a top speed in excess of 200 mph.

Even the Pit Bikes Are Cool at Laguna SecaSitting in the paddock near a Shelby Cobra, this Honda CT70 belonged to Randy, an elevator inspector in Southern California who spends his free time restoring these small Hondas. After restoring a hangar full of CT70s, Randy arrived at Laguna Seca with just two of the 72cc models, intent on selling them both. Often known as the Trail 70, Honda began producing this bike in the summer of 1969, following the release of what has become its hero bike\u2014the CB750. It made all of 6 hp from its single-cylinder engine, weighed 150 pounds, and was priced at $395. That's $3180 in 2022 money, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator.Honda introduced these bikes as a sort of entry-level encouragement for new riders to join the motorcycling ranks. It was light and easy to ride, with a capable engine, three-speed semi-automatic or four-speed manual transmission, and simplistic mechanical makeup. Produced from 1969 through 1982, the first batch of CT70s accounted for 380,000 sales, with the bike returning for the 1991 to 1994 model years.

Sale prices have skyrocketed, as restorations like the one seen here sell for more than $10,000. Honda has also caught onto this trend and has reintroduced modern versions of its most popular models, such as the Trail 125 and Super Cub.
