Default Monterey Historics 8/20 - Big ass post!

Captains Log dated 8/20 ... today is the day that Starship Enterprise (Pontiac Sunfire actually) is once again headed to Planet Monterey to see some beasts tear up the track again. It was at Laguna Seca - possibly the coolest track in US along with the old Watkins Glen circuit.

Chaparral and Alfa Romeo were the featured marques and a full contigent of cars were present

Needless to say I had a lot of fun seeing these magnificent cars in their repose and tearing around the track 8)
