We stay across the street every year from the Chataqua Hall in PG. My Wife grew up there. We are in NorCal now, and use to check out the Lighthouse car groups as they drive by. After 13 years, this year we are skipping the whole Monterey/Historics/Pacific Grove thing in favor of Portland Historics; and here is why. I know many people who are bailing out on it down there for many reasons, and here a a few of mine; regretfully.
1. Hotel rooms are limited and rates continue to go up; owners want more $
2. Limited areas to drive cars; it's just a big parking lot down there...
3. Limited areas to park Trailers for those who come from afar.
4. Too crowded to drive anywhere down there on that weekend
5. Drives on Highway One are even crowded that weekend
For people coming in from out of town, staying 4 night-mininum there, plus costs of food and everything, it's not that attractive anymore and if you really want to have fun driving down there, just pick any other weekend than Concours weekend.
