Not Ranked
stiffy - I went last year and gave you most of my thoughts in my reply to your PM. If others are interested here are some comments.
The Automobillia show was a total waste of time. Fairly small and nothing exceptional except the ridiculous prices being asked.
Laguna Seca. All cars practice on the Thursday/Friday and half race twice on the Saturday and the other half race twice on the Sunday. The feature marque will race on the Saturday as it leaves them free for Pebble Beach on the Sunday. Although I went specifically to see the 250 GTOs, the Trans-Am and Can-Am racing was sensational. No parking or crowd issues and free access to the paddock area included in your ticket.
Pebble Beach. Following great advice I got there at dawn and wandered through the transporters area and watch the cars being unloaded. The owners (even Jay Leno) were very friendly and more than happy to talk to 'an Aussie'. There was hardly anyone around at that time but by 11.00am I had seen everything twice and you could hardly move so I went back to Laguna Seca to see the afternoon races.
