This is one of the Jaguar North America Select Edition E-type racing cars that I photographed at the California Speedway in Fontana, California on 20 June 2004. This car, number 63 driven by Jeremy Bond, had just completed racing in Race Group 1 and had just returned to the Jaguar racing area when these photos were taken. The other E-type in the photo (number 61 driven by Art Hebert) won this race.
