Its on this weekend, August 16 - 18. This year celebrates 60 years of the Corvette, and there are an impresive list of significant Corvette's that'll be in attendance. But there in an amazing line-up of races taking place for various GT, sports car, sedan, and open wheeler categories. For those who can't be there, I'll be uploading photos from the event here as soon as they become available.
Steve is your reporter and chief photographer the Laguna Limelighter, formerly the Lakeside Limelighter!
Nah, I won't be relying on the Legend Of Lakeside for pics, these will be the official photos as they become available, although Dale will be there, and will no doubt post up some good pics from the event, although they'll probably all be of '69 Mustangs!Originally Posted by fullnoise68
Sorry, no Monterey pics, the "Laguna Limelighter" spent too much time rubbing shoulders with the Trans Am group in the pits, LOL.
This year was way smaller than last year, still a fantastic event and certainly world premier when it comes to historic cars!! caught up with a few mates and good friend John Watkins won his main race in the "spectre" IMSA Boss Mustang so he was pretty happy, a good time alround and lots of interest from individuals about coming racing in NZ.
Too friggen HOT, 36 today so its back home Tuesday

The driver of the UOP Shadow (pic 4 #26) even has a Tom Pryce replica helmet! That is taking the period correctness to an extreme, perhaps creepy level.
Yes, tend to agree with that. Perhaps the ultimate tribute.
Monterey, 2013, look forward to that, was there in 1982 , with BMCBOY and others from NZ as part of a contingent from NZ and Aus, plus many other countries, we had gone for the 30th Anniversary of Austin-Healey to Snowmass ' at Aspen ' , Colorado, then stayed in the US of A for a couple of months, (more for some ask BMCBOY ) , did Laguna Seca 1982, year of " Porsche " , then further North to be at PIR Portland International Raceway, for their late August Historic / Classic meet. Healey's, was a guy Richard Mayor from Portland known as " Dick on Wheels " believe still races a early 60's Healey 3000 at PIR and other Pacific Northwest venues, he could be at Laguna Seca. Look forward to the photo and comments.
Just to kick things off. All photos courtesy Rolex/Stephan Cooper.
