Hello Friends,
Well, I completed my first weekend as an entrant into the Rolex Monterey =
Motorsports Reunion races.
I had attended this event at least 25 times in the last 31 years as a =
spectator. It's been a goal of mine to eventually join in as a driver.
=20
My TR3 performed well. =20
I qualified 18 of 46, ahead of four 250 V12 Ferraris and three Corvettes =
to my surprise.
It was quite a trip sitting on the grid sandwiched between a 250 LWB and =
SWB. =20
Once again I got a little swamped in the feature race and fell back to a =
24 place finish, but managed to stay ahead of #22 Ferrari 250 SWB and =
Mike Silverman, Vintage Motorsport publisher, in his Huffaker MGA. =20
My race group 3A was the most valuable group of the event, estimates in =
excess of $350 million, with three Ferrari GTOs, four SWBs, three LWBs =
included. Crazy!
=20
This was my first time racing with 4-ply Vintage TDs. I was 5 seconds =
off my fast time at Laguna with a 2:01 in the race. The 1:56 I did with =
Speedsters would have put me near the top ten on the grid.
=20
This was my tenth event as a driver. =20
My TR3 has finished every lap of every session of all ten events. Knock =
on wood.
=20
I have to say how wonderful this event is. They treat the drivers and =
at least one crew member very well. In the drivers lounge, the catered =
meals are tasty gourmet delights. Extremely satisfying. The second =
story canopied viewing area outside of turn three is a great place to =
watch while enjoying meals. This alone makes the entry fee well worth =
it.
=20
Our paddock space was shared with four other cars. Dave Nelson, Le Mans =
replica TR2, and his wife Laura, provided an organized canopy layout for =
all five race cars with checkered flag trim and a "Del Monte Club" =
banner placed in honor of the early Pebble Beach races. Our space =
became a meeting place for British car fans and other racers and really =
made the weekend wonderful.
=20
Wired Magazine interviewed me and placed a 360 degree camera on my car =
for the race. I'll share the results when I get them. =20
=20
I'm hooked. I hope to be able to join in again next year.
