Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races
#8
What is this little car! Beautiful.
Too bad the silver Jag 140 in the middle had the ghey skirts. The xk120 to 150 were some of the prettiest cars ever built.
I'm guessing by the front pic of the Alfa GTV that you are a fan also. If you haven't driven one, try to. The old alfa engine revs so freely it's unreal. Redline every shift even at part throttle and it just loves it. Never feels strained at all.
If I ever take up real racing, historics would be my 1st choice. Some little roadster like our Miata's are emulating.

I didn't know it was anything special, I guess I should've snapped a better pic. What's the R3 all about?
ROFL

I plan on it, I got into the Historics for free, there's AMA Superbike in September and ALMS in October, those will be free also. And to top it off, since I volunteer for these things and pull security, I get closer to the track than I'd otherwise be able to, and earn hours toward an award from the Army for pulling 100 volunteer hours. Sucks to be me, eh?

The alfa's aren't awesome, just fun. Never been in a car with an engine that revs so freely.
Tough you being in Laguna's backyard and a car/ bike guy. Can you feel the envy?
You couldn't be in a better spot for your training. Just think, you could have been in GA with the heat, humidity, bugs, TX or AZ with extreme heat, maybe UT with nothing to do or see. Heck, it's likely a nice break from your home state for the summer!

My AIT was in southern AZ, last assignment was in GA, and when I'm done here, TX is my next stop. From there, no idea. Probably back to GA..
