Hi All, Madeline and I, WILL be making making a foray onto the Left Coast for some "adult" time during Concours Week at Pebble in August. We have accomodations in Carmel for that week. We would love to hook up with some of the West Coast friends if possible. Will anyone be around?

My son & I will be in Monterey & Carmel Tuesday 8/10 through Sunday 8/15. I know the area fairly well, since we have a time share in Carmel (I will also be there for 2 weeks in June working the US Open)
I can certainly recommend several good restaurants. Car-wise, we will be in a Hertz Rental (sigh)
Howard, Dave Tom, El Guapo, et al. The Blue Bus will be at the Pre-Historics/"New Monterey" Historic races and cool car events that happen in August. As time goes on we can make a plan and hopefully even more SOC members will have a campfire/ bull session like last year. Rick Jiloty is a regular and Barry Schmidt usually shows up. Be there or be square!
Mary and I will be at the "prehistorics" most likely on Saturday, August 7th (they run Saturday/Sunday - and last year we joined Barry, Speedster Replica friends Wil and Jim/Ginny) - and participating in the 'Pacific Grove Rally/Concours' on Friday, August 13th....with our 550 Beck Spyder....(some photos of the events are at www.spydersite.shutterfly.com) - RickJ

btw there's so much going on that week it's hard to list everything - but you may want to look at the week's 'Carmel Pinecone' - 2009 edition at -

click on 'special section concours week'
the historic race part of the weekend is 'under new management' and the pre-historic weekend is especially subject to radical change...and a 'real' ticket price (we used to get in for $0 or an $8 admission to the park.....this year looks like $50 or $15 if you're holding a ticket to the next weekend's races)....
