Monterey, Part I

Everything in my life is over the top hectic right now, so I'm still scratching my head over the fact that I managed to squeeze in almost four full days at Monterey's Car Week!  The opportunity (as in a free pass to the Pebble Beach concours) presented itself and I cleared the decks in order to take advantage - I couldn't afford NOT to.  I've been to the Rolex Historic Motorports Fest at Laguna Seca before but I'd never seen the Pebble Beach Concours.... seeing the two together was almost to much stimulation for one weekend.

A Taste of Monterey

I got to go to the Monterey Historics (or the Rolex Whosit-Whatsit or whatever they call it now) this year courtesy of a pit pass provided by Lee Osborn.  The pass not only got me in for free, it allowed me access to the lineup for the starting grid!  I'll make a longer post about the races soon, but I was thinking of guys like Davide De Giorgi, stuck in Europe away from all the fun, and thought I'd post this footage of Lee's group getting on the track.  If you can identify more than half the cars in this lineup you're doing pretty good.
