I first went to this area on our honeymoon and although I will not show those photos I will say that it was hard to imagine cars racing around the Pebble Beach circuit that is a few miles from Laguna Seca out by the Pacific Ocean.
From 1950 to 1956 the racing was around this dangerous circuit lined with trees and a few hay bales and was last used when driver Ernie McAfee crashed his Ferrari into a tree and died instantly in 1956.
This was the circuit where Phil Hill first displayed his skills also along with Carroll Shelby and Dan Gurney etc..
