The Week Itself

A peninsula of
ninety thousand
horsepower.

For ten days each August the Monterey Peninsula turns itself over to the automobile. It begins quietly — a free evening on Alvarado Street, historic racers idling under the streetlights — and it ends on the eighteenth fairway at Pebble Beach, where the finest surviving cars in the world are judged against the Pacific.

In between: four days of historic racing at Laguna Seca, five major auctions, a gathering in Carmel Valley that has become the most coveted ticket of the week, and — easily overlooked — more than twenty events that cost nothing at all. Aston Martins along Ocean Avenue. Microcars on Lighthouse. Wood-bodied wagons under the Pacific Grove pines.

What follows is the whole of it, day by day, with what each one costs. Filter it, search it, and build the week you actually want.
