It's a special time. One of my best memories was seeing John Fitch & Phil Walters stop right in front of us in a Cunningham special. Sights & sounds you will NEVER forget!
Also several vineyards have tents on the sidewalks ,selling a cool refreshing beverage. Plus a few jazz combos up & down main street.

The racing continues thru the weekend at the track. A special place if you love sportscar racing history. Also visit the Racing museum right in downtown.

If you come , DON't miss the downtown events. It really is like going back to the 50's & 60's.
