Looks like you and I were hanging out at the same places (in fact I made it into one of your pics)! Concorso on Friday and Track on Sat? I went back to the track on Sunday instead of going to Pebble because I had an afternoon flight out of San Jose. Great time and the weather was pretty nice too!

That's not actually a Corvette, it's Wes's (Carson City,Nv.) Fiberfab. The first time I saw it, I didn't fugure it out until I saw the VIN plate.

You guys catch the BAC Mono in the "Non-Italian" section?

A friend of mine has a Dec. delivery date on one.

Anybody have pics of LeMons (early Hyundais, Gremlins, any stray that comes in under $1500 AIR)? Video of their race would also be fun, relief from mega-$$$ fatigue.

No, but one of the evenings driving back from Monterey, I accidently passed by the odd dealership that Wayne Carini bought his goofy entry into that "event" a couple years ago, which was shown on a Chasing Classic cars episode.

I think it was called "Dodi's Auto" or something like that? The painted slogans in the windows were recognizable.

I believe this 63 Z06, belongs to Forum member, Garrett Waddell. He goes by "63Corvette" on the Forum.

Thanks for posting the pictures, That's one of those events that I want to get to some day. Actually, my wife and I were talking about maybe trying to get there next year. She likes wine, and I love old race cars, so what could be better than Monterey?

Default And I ate there last year, and the same group of seals!

Everyone great pictures, I see more exotics on this thread which is appreciated. I haven't been to the Italiano in about 3 years. I used to go there on Friday, until cars that I wanted pictures of were getting crashed at the track and I missed them by Saturday/Sunday because they were wrecked!

I talked about Dodi motors on my Monterey tips thread, but they said they didn't consider any Corvettes. Actually they still had most of the Porsches unsold that they bought in 2009 prior to the Rennsport Reunion 4.
