| 54 | Feature | Magnificent Monterey A tale of two events - Quail & Concorso Keith Bluemel, Marcel Massini, Vincent Yernaux Michael Gregg, Keith Bluemel Despite the global economic recession, there was barely a sign of it on the surface on the Monterey Peninsula during the historic week. Yes, some of the major corporate sponsors, notably the major car manufacturers, were conspicuous by their absence, and some hotels still had vacancy signs, but basically it was business as usual. The week traditionally starts with the low key pre-historic meeting at Laguna Seca the weekend before the main event, and then really gets into gear as the week progresses, culminating with the final day of the historic race meeting, the last evening of the Gooding Auction, and of course, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. |
