"                 The second edition of the Road &amp;amp;amp; Track U.S. Sports Car Invitational took place the first weekend in May and we hope you had a chance to come by Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca and enjoy the thrills.   This year&amp;#039;s grand marshal of the event was NASCAR veteran Bobby Allison, who pleased everyone on hand with his warm friendliness and willingness to swap yarns with young and old enthusiasts.   The big excitement on Saturday and the crowd pleaser was the Drifting Challenge with a prize of $10,000 on the line. You can read all about that in features elsewhere in the issue by Contributing Editor Bob Judd and Road Test Editor Patrick Hong.   We also had the fun of organizing a Road &amp;amp;amp; Track Classic Sports Car show, which provided enthusiasts the opportunity to get up close with some of the most exciting cars of years past.
