[DeTomaso] Monterey Historics agenda

[Garth Rodericks]

Here are my recommendations...
Thursday   
   - Tour d'Elegance in downtown Carmel
   
   - The Pebble cars go on a tour and stop for lunch in Carmel.  It's a chance to mill around these gorgeous cars without the $360 entrance fee!  Fun to watch them all pull out too when lunch is over.  I like to then grab lunch at one of my favorite spots there.
   
   - Baja Cantina
   
   - Great eclectic show with everything from rat-rods and Frankenstein Studebakers to Ferrari's and Cobras, and everything in between.

Friday   
   - Laguna Seca - Vintage racing, or more correctly "qualifying."  Wander the pits and admire the machinery.
   - PCNC Dinner @ Los Laureles Lodge in Carmel Valley - An excellent dinner with fellow Pantera brethren, not to be missed!   


Saturday   
   - Concorso Italiano - Unfortunately, this one is now on Saturday and competes with the best day at the races.  I'll go if anyone has a vacant passenger seat.  Great show none the less!
   - Laguna Seca - Vintage racing!  This is what it's all about...  Seeing the cars in action, doing what made them legendary and so desirable today!
   - Garth's Trackside BBQ - Immediately following the races.  Great time relaxing with friends instead of sitting in traffic.   


Sunday
   
   - Dawn Patrol - Show up at 0-dark-thirty in the cold fog to watch the Pebble cars roll in. This is supposed to be quite fun, but I understand the Pebble organizers are getting much more strict about security and enforcing that you have a ticket in order to be there "legally."  I've planned to do this for years, but frankly haven't been able to get out of bed that early.   

   - Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance - Presumably the premier concours event in the country (maybe the world).  Go to the tour on Thursday and save the $360-$400.
   - Laguna Seca - More of why we're in Monterey that weekend!  Vintage racing!   


I've occasionally gone to a couple of auctions, but only to look around, and if I have time.
