Hi Rob-

Yes, I'm going:-)  The Concours D'Italia is on Friday  (Aug. 18) at Quail 
Lodge in Carmel Valley.  Get there early (like before 8AM -- no problem 
-- you're an autocrosser, right?!) so you can park somewhere nearby.  
The Pebble Beach Concours is Sunday, Aug. 20 at the Pebble Beach Golf 
Course.  If you've never been, it's quite a spectacle.  Be warned -- it's a 
nightmare to get to -- you'll need to get on a shuttle bus etc., and it costs 
about $50 to get in, which is, however, a charitable donation.   The Italian 
Concours is about $25, which I think is pretty darn cheap for the 
opportunity to wonder aloud "Could there possibly be such a thing as too 
many Ferraris?", and is also the only place I've ever seen 2 F50s and 3-4 
F40s together...  

Also, of course, the vintage races.  If you can swing it, wander over Friday 
afternoon after the concours.  It's a nice mellow day with far fewer 
spectators than the weekend, and lots of opportuntiy to talk to car owners.  
The races are on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, with warm-ups each 
morning.  Everyone gets a practice session on Friday.  Great vendor area 
too, for all sorts of cool car memorabilia and trinkets.

Hope you get to go,

EJ
