I just returned from the automotive ****-fest that is Monterey Weekend. Though there were not enough Corvettes present to garner a corral, check out this great looking, period correctly modified sitting in the parking lot at the track :







And then check out (inside the paddock) this interesting Sting Ray racer or at second glance, a topic of recent discussion, a 1965 FiberFab kit that was really well done :





I had a really great, yet at times, overwhelming experience at all of the car happenings around the peninsula and it appears as though my $8k bid on the '57 Ferrari Testarossa was just shy of the $10.7 million dollar bid. Back to my rental car !

And as a great aside, post Monterey and into San Francisco to meet up with Forum members Astrodokk and Mechron who were both kind enough to drive down from Santa Rosa to meet this tourist and drag him to Tommy's Joynt for dinner and The Cliff House for a few late night cocktails.
That wound up being just as much fun as drooling over the occasional Miura ....

I love the concept of the Red Roadster. In fact that is the direction that our 65 is going, including the Lucs Flam Throwers.

Ha ! That's what headed me straight to this car, I think that it had a great '50's rallye car look to it. Even though it had some modern modified rally wheels, the old style header dumps out the side looked terrific. I just wish that I had been there to hear it fire up.

Check out the thread in the Northern Calif. section...

We had 33 Corvettes in the Corvette Corral at the fence between turns 5 and 6, including Reeves Callaway, 3 of his cars, and a Lingenfelter Corvette too!

There was a Corvette Corral ? Nobody calls me anymore !

Ray,
Next year you should peruse the Northern California section and gleen any info from there. That's where I heard about the corral, but it was rather sketchy about if there were going to be enough cars to meet the minimum for a corral.
Anyway, I went on a poker run, so I couldn't make it. But it was sure fun to meet you on Sunday in San Francisco. Turbocat called me tonight to say that he's coming over Saturday to tell me in person how disappointed he is that we didn't tell him we were meeting you, but I didn't know you guys had met before. Next time! (Actually, he's got his car running now and wants to show it off).
Ray, even if I don't make it to Monterey next year, if you go, let's meet again...it was a blast, albeit just a very short meet.
By the way, Ron didn't remember anything the next day when I called him.

Always great to see a resurrected Fiber Fab Centurion. My only nit-picks are it should have six tail lights without chrome surrounds to match the original '59 Sting Ray.

But I'd happily take it as is!

Oh there were a few Corvettes in and around the whole Monterey weekend...

Chuck (Turbocat) is local to you guys ? We gotta organize in advance next time. I understand that Kensmith is not too far from SF and I also understand that after 11 years of shopping, he finally purchased a midyear .

p.s. And as for Ron, that boy really loves his Drambuie ....
