My pics from the Monterey Historic Automobile Races

I only made it on Sunday (we went to the Rock the Bells music festival on Saturday in San Francisco) but it was a great experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone remotely interested in car racing. Since it was at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, there was a lot of Mazda representation, including a big tent celebrating the rotary's 40th anniversary.

Anyway, enough chit chat, here are the pics from walking around (the racing pics will follow in a second post to this thread)



Two Cosmos!

Anyone like the movie Cars?














This was the most exciting class - IMSA cars.




6 or 7 Porches dropped out before the end


Lexus IS-F





Here is the best picture from Rock the Bells. Cypress Hill had a giant golden Buddha with a pot leaf on its belly.

Nice photos. Thanks for sharing. I like that white Aston Martin. Is that a 60s Zagato?

I think it's a DB4 GT Zagato.

No problem! It really was a great weekend. Everyone should try making it out the Monterey week at least once in their lifetime.

We went to San Francisco to see Rage Against the Machine again (we were really disappointed in their reunion show at Coachella earlier this year). We didn't realize that Monterey was going on the same weekend until a month before the trip, so it was mostly an afterthought. After all the fun I had at the race, I am definitely take a week off in the next couple years to do the whole concourse experience.
