!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! starts this weekend with the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !
The !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! is a sort of practice session that kicks off the start of the week. Racecar owners and their teams could get laps in and dial in their cars for the fastest lap times. It’s a great opportunity to get really close to the action since it’s not as crowded as the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . In fact, it’s very similar to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! series at Laguna Seca.
Of course, I’ve been getting ready for Monterey Car Week by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ! Plus, I got my Media Credentials in the mail! I’ll be shooting behind the fences once again!
See you there!

$190 for four days, two adults and $100 for kids. $580 for my family. Kinda steep. Plus I’ll have to drive for hours. Can’t take the 4Runner. I’d have to take the M5. That’s roughly 400 miles round trip at 12 miles per gallon. That’s 33.3 gallons of fuel at $4 a gallon, another $133 of fuel. That’s a $713 trip before I find an overpriced hotel. What a shame.

Yeah, it’s not like a weekend getaway kinda thing. I consider myself unbelievably lucky that I could even do this.

I want to go. I being keyword. Leave the family at home and make it cheap. Not sure if they’d appreciate that. Have a blast. Post tons of pictures. I’ve got a buddy that will be there with his XKE.

No idea. I don’t believe there will be many of them. Maybe I’m wrong.

I take it back. Car is getting auctioned at Sotheby’s on Aug. 16th. He has entered it before. Apparently it wasn’t as fun as having a pile of money.

Oh, do you have a link? I might even have photos of that car if he brought it out to the Reunion in the last couple of years.

Yeah, I looked in my collections and I can’t seem to find it. I swear I’ve seen this car before too!
