Monterey Weekend 2007

There seems to be a bit of Monterey weekend excitement going on so I thought I'd make a poll to see where everyone is going to be.

Please check of each event you think you will be attending. To bad we cant make them all.

See you in Monterey!

Hey! No one listed the Pacific Grove concourse Auto Rally.
This is a really fun event held Friday afternoon. Car show on the main drag in Pacific Grove fron 1 to 5 pm. Then a tour from there along the coast to the 17 mile drive, into Carmel and up Ocean Ave. to Hwy 1. Hwy 1 north to Monterey and Cannery row. Finishes back at Pacific Grove with a great BarBque for the participants.
Try it!
Randy

Randy,

Isn't that the Pebble Beach Tour, on Thursday? I understand that PB show cars will be on display in Pac. Grove at noon, then going off (or having returned from) 17-Mile Drive. I've never been to it (but plan to go this year), and they may have changed the event to Friday this year.

After the first day of the races at Laguna Seca on Saturday, does anyone know if the lovely couple (his first or last name is West?) still host an hors d’œuvre/wine party at their home just behind the track?

I'm inquiring for Daron/akitaman and have looked through my recent "Overheard Cams" but have seen no mention of it. Thanks in advance.

Monterey

Doing everything, eating everything and drinking everything.

Then chillin' for two days in Big Sur with daily massages and facials.

I will be in heaven if Stewart will finish in time putting the damn clutch in the Lancia ...


Pat, the Tour d' Elegance is Thu morning. I think it is best enjoyed on a nice spot on the side of Highway 1, especiaaly shortly before or after a bridge where you see the cars going down and coming up again. I met fantastic people there last year (The owner of the spectacular maroon Maser AG6 Zagato) and had tons of fun. Going donwtown Carmel to see them park is a zoo, way over-crowded.

Here is the link to route and timing. http://www.pebblebeachconcours.net/pages/about-events-driving/index.htm#tour_d'elegance

It turns out I am going to be going last minute (Thurs-Sun). Hate not having a place to sleep arranged first, but everything seems to be sold out now. Hoping I can find a place with cancelations when I drive up. If anyone hears of anything available or if you have a reservation and your not going to be using it please email or PM me. I would greatly appreciate it! Hope to see all the Alfisiti there! Excited, this will be my first Monterey experience.

-Brandon

Brandon,

Check with the Laurel Inn. The ARA usually has a block reserved for its members, but it might not have been filled yet - PM elite38868 (Sean) to see if he can provide you with related information. Good luck!

Most of those attending usually meet a little before 4:00 p.m. at the Alfa corral at LS and caravan from there to the house.

I'm sorry I'll miss Daron and Cyndi -- I may have found a way around the Dean's new rule as a result of ADA accommodation that is not met at the "required" function but I won't know until, at the earliest, Tuesday; and I like another poster did not bother to make reservations knowing that I had already been refused the time-off previously. So if it works, maybe next year.
