A few pics from the recent Monterey pre-historic races

Post by logan2z » Thu Aug 22, 2019 4:30 pm

A friend and I recently spent a few hours wandering around the paddock at the pre-historic races in Monterey, which is essentially a warm-up event for the historic races that happen at Laguna Seca Raceway during the annual car week event. I'm always looking for an excuse to take some photographs and this turned out to be a good opportunity to get up close to the cars and the people who race them.

Here's a handful of pictures that I thought might be worth sharing:

Sweet. Lived there as a kid. Pacific Grove just near the drive by the water. Love it there.

I have a book with all black and white photos of historic California races. I’d love to attend one of those.

Actually I was driving through Monterey, saw lots of super nice vintage cars. I only took one photo unfortunately, this old Rolls Royce...
