If anyone is planning on attending the Monterey Historic races in August, here is a link with some information. It looks like an outside company is handling the corral and some of the events:

It looks like if you want to park in the corral, it's $70. I'm not sure if any club (PCA) affiliation is needed.

I look forward to Monterey week all year. With Porsche the marque car at the historics I will be in car heaven. Fridays ticket are $50.00 (kids under 12 are FREE)and I feel the best value for racing around. I amazes me that people come from all over the world for the events in Monterey during the week in August, yet many locals have never been to the any of the events. Every year I try to take someone who has never been to the historics for the day.

I'm making it my yearly week long vacation. Unfortunately my 914 will be hot off the track at that point and kinda tired. Also, it's not the most comfortable thing to drive for 400 miles, with the Sparco seat and race harnesses. Plus it likes to overheat on the freeway. So, I will be bringing my Eclipse, and parking on the OTHER side of the track! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) But I'm definitely going, and I'm sure it's gonna rock! If I can hear a 917 warming up in person, that'll make the whole trip worth it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

I don't know if I'll have a running 914 but I will be there. I have a campsite up above the Corkscrew. Can't see a whole lot of the track from there but I get to wake up to the sounds of engines.
I try each year to go to at lest 1 event at Laguna Seca. This year I actually already bought campsites to the historics and the Sportcar Championships.

Maybe we'll cross paths.

Are the campsites full? Do they have full hook ups / 30 amp?

So were you already married or did you hold off the wedding plans until after you knew that she would work out?

We were about 100 days in at the time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif) I planted her in the Porsche tent directed at the big screen and then let marketing do its thing...

Then we wandered out through the Porsche corral where she fell in love with 968s.

I just registered for the Porsche corral. That was a quick $70 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I hope the free t-shirt is cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I don't know if all the sites are gone yet. When I got mine (Feb, I think) there were none with hook up available. I just have a marked chunk of flat asphalt.
I don't think Laguna Seca has any site with sewer hook up just water & electric. I just a small (21ft) RV but it works fine for a weekend.
If (big if here) I get a 914 on the road I'll tow it down with me.

Only 8 more days. I am getting excited!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

At the upcoming 36th Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races, held at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on August 14-16, the sound of the initial stirrings of over 450 race cars will be complimented by the exquisite growl of the newest, most daring and most advanced vehicle Porsche has produced to date, the 2010 Porsche Panamera gran turismo.

"This year's Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races presents the perfect opportunity to demonstrate that Porsche's DNA, its competitive spirit and drive for perfection, runs from the very first 356, Porsche No. 1 up through today's all-new Panamera," said Detlev von Platen, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America.

"We at Porsche are deeply honored to have been named the ‘featured marque' on this, the 61st anniversary of the very first Porsche and the North American debut of the Panamera, the very latest Porsche," added von Platen.

In addition to the 145 Porsche racers already entered by their owners, or one-third of the 450-plus field, Porsche will showcase the Panamera on the world-famous race track and will also provide display vehicles on site.

Along with the North American debut of the 2010 Panamera, four special cars with significant American connections will also be on site -- all on loan from the new Porsche Museum in Germany:

The 1960 Porsche Type 718 Formula 2 racing car, which gave Porsche its first Formula 2 world title and was driven in 1961 by Californian Dan Gurney, is making its North American debut.
The 1962 Porsche Type 804 Formula 1 racer, which was the car that brought Gurney to his French Grand Prix win that year. This car has not been in North America since the 1960s.
The 1962 Porsche Type 718 W-RS 8-cylinder Spyder, in which Gurney and Joakim Bonnier finished second at the Targa Florio in 1961, has also not been in North America for more than 40 years. In the 1960s, it was raced in the U.S. by Gurney, Bonnier and Phil Hill.
The Porsche GT1 98LM, which helped Porsche finish 1-2 at the 1998 24-hours of Le Mans event.


Porsche-sponsored activities for the fans at Laguna will include a heritage display including former and current race cars, Porsche's current showroom product line, and experts to answer Porsche questions. Porsche Motorsport North America, the racing arm of Porsche in the U.S., will also showcase its engine and chassis services for both professional and club/vintage racing, while the Porsche Club of America expects to have more than 400 Porsches in its club corral and will parade all its cars on the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
