Monterey: As If It's Not Busy Enough
I got an e-mail from Michael T. Lynch this evening announcing the Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue on Tuesday of the week leading up to the Monterey Historics/auctions/Concorso/Pebble Beach.
It's being backed by Doug and Genie Freedman who have made something of an institution out of their Thursday lunch at Il Fornaio in Carmel during the Pebble Beach Tour.
The Concours on the Avenue will be judged ("professionally", Michael T. said, although I have yet to meet a "professional" concours judge). There will be some thirteen classes for post-WWII cars.
Ocean Avenue in Carmel and portions of several side streets will be closed for the Concours.
The Concours on the Avenue's charity of choice is the Carmel Foundation. Fittingly enough, the Carmel Foundation supports services for the area's seniors.
Monterey week needs another event like a hole-in-the-head but it won't hurt to have something going on that has "low-key" somewhere in its concept and description, a place where Cosworth Vegas, S/Cramblers, K-code Fairlanes, Dart Demons, Austin-Healeys, Bitters, TVRs and Monteverdes can be shown without feeling vaguely like staff attending the aristocracy.
Continuing information about the Concours on the Avenue might be found at the motorclub events website.
