Default Monterey

Hey all...I've been so busy lately that I haven't had much time to spend on CF, but I am planning on traveling up Pacific Coast Highway to this year's Monterey Motorsports Reunion, where Corvette will be the featured marque. I've poked around the C3 side to see if any other C3ers are going...any takers?

I should be coming through Santa Barbara around 11ish Friday morning-hoping to see a 300 mile long caravan!

I'm headed out there for the Pebble Besch concours and the Concorso Italiano, but no Corvettes this trip.

Will do...posting this from my phone in a Camarillo hotel room, so no pics as yet. Those familiar with me will recognize my freshly-painted Donnybrooke Green '70 coupe. This is my fifth time at the Historics (as they used to be called) but the first in a car that was the featured marque...looking forward to a great time!
To anybody who hasn't yet made up their mind-if you have a Vette and a credit card, no matter how run-down or clapped-out it may be, this is definitely bucket list material. As someone who spent several years vintage racing, Monterey is THE event ESPECIALLY if you like cars in general. It is always a who's who of racing history and definitely worth the trip and the effort.
To those that make it, look forward to seeing you there and on the way up!
