After 10 days on the Monterey Peninsula, the Garage Style Magazine team partook in more than 30 events. Enjoying the world-famous Car Week is always a treat, even if a fair amount of planning and exercise are involved. And don’t kid yourself – planning helps anyone successfully enjoy all the events they want to see, but Car Week is Car Week, and allowing for some last-minute changes and surprises is always good advice. And the walking is omnipresent, so keep walking throughout the year to keep yourself in shape. That said, 10 days and roughly 37 events is a bit higher than average. To say we crammed it all in is an understatement – but we had a ball. Here’s a preview of what all we did. Enjoy!
WeatherTech Race Car Show on Alvarado
WeatherTech kicked off Car Week with a classic car show in downtown Monterey. We saw 30 classic race cars lining the 300 block of Alvarado Street (by the intersection of Monterey Conference Center and Portola Hotel and Spa).
We also met the drivers of these beautiful examples of racing history while enjoying great music and giveaways.
After the race cars rolled out we headed to dinner at the famed motorsports-inspired Turn-12 Restaurant in downtown Monterey, which is an obvious nod to WeatherTech Laguna Seca Raceway. We enjoyed a great meal surrounded by pieces of motorsports memorabilia.
Don,
You’ve got more stamina than me. But it was great seeing you again! And that’s what car week is all about, seeing old friends while celebrating great cars!
