Pebble Beach Week 2007: The Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca, Pt. II
While we already brought you an initial post from the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races, there was so much more action at the track that we wanted to show off more of the great shots we got from Laguna Seca last week. Today's track pics come from earlier in the week and include some action from the special Ferrari 60th anniversary tribute, the parade of F40s to celebrate that iconic supercar's 20th birthday, and a few other classes we didn't get to see on Saturday. Things like IMSA GT and Can-Am, classic GP cars and GT racers of the '50s and '60s. We don't think you'll be disappointed.
These typically gorgeous action shots come courtesy of our friend Drew Phillips of Fast-Autos.net. We've also filled in a few paddock shots that show just how huge this event really is. If you've never attended an event like this, there's simply no way to describe how you'll feel the first time you see a dozen Bentley racers all lined up. We highly recommend making it up to Monterey next August or taking in any of the other vintage races that take place around the country.

The Ferrari F40 is a sign of God's love.

Or, perhaps it's a sign that you had a silver spoon up your behind since childhood.

Here you go Alex...From James Ch 2 verse17. " Whatever is good and perfect comes to us from God above,who created all the heavens lights.Unlike them,he never changes or casts shifting shadows".

I agree that Historics are one of the great spectacles of autodom. We have them here in July, and these races are the only place in the world where you can see a McLaren and a 917 in full song, wheel to wheel,at speed. I was lucky enough to see several Can-Am races in the late 60's, and the memories are re-kindled everytime I smell racing fuel.
