Monterey car week in August

I'm planning on going, not sure yet which events. This is one where there'll be a lot of Ferrari owners: https://www.facebook.com/ConcorsoItaliano/, or their direct page: https://concorso.com/?fbclid=IwAR3Vr0SYHjoYaLVhYtHY2lNLS7eXl79GwOGt6XmJdGpSKy6naLmSuCTjpV4

Just be aware that this site can have wrong information. For example, it states that Legends of the Autobahn would be at the Monterey Fairgrounds like it was last year, but the Legends site says it'll be at the Pacific Grove Golf Links for 2022 (where Worldwide Auctions has been held in the past...but which is skipping Monterey for 2022). I think they basically copy/paste last year's information and then make corrections as they hear about them. But it is a good site for general overall summary of the events to occur.

 

Tickets are $75/person for Barnyard party. We are signed up

Where did you buy tickets?

You should definitely register for Concorso Italiano if you've never been. I've been several times and it's a really good, upscale event on a golf course. LOTS of Ferraris. It should be highly attended this year. Last year was a little flat.

The Barnyard event is a FOC sponsored event. It's essentially free, but you can buy a ticket to apply it towards food. It's good, but it's an event in a parking lot.

You could go to Concorso Italiano and then drive to The Barnyard afterwards. You'll have enough time.

 

More-than-likely Concorso will not “release” you in time to attend the Barnyard. Due to their super-strict policy of no departures until 5pm, I will never-again attend CI. False imprisonment is an understatement. My .02

 

Quail is our favorite event… great food, socializing, great cars.
Casa Ferrari is too notch.
Laguna Seca is cool to watch million $$$& vintage racing.

We went to CI last year and got out around 4pm no problem. We were early at the Barn yard no problem. Got the best parking spot. A lot of wine selections.

 

Yup, they can be like maid police. I don’t display there anymore for the above reason.

The Barnyard has several adjoining parking lots for office buildings, all empty at that time of day so no problem parking

 

Carmel Concours on the Avenue cancelled for 2022...see post https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/carmel-concours-on-the-ave-future-in-doubt-after-founder-dies.649248/page-2

 

You can leave CI anytime you want. They just try to keep people from driving around the event in their cars like other typical car shows.

 

I'm familiar with the CI event from my early Maser & Fiat visits. But this year I am a proud new Poppa of a '56 250 GT Boano. I remember seeing various Ferrari Only events at various venues; some of them magnificent, private homes. Therefore, I am wondering how to participate in some of these since I finally have a worthy car? I'm not in any of the clubs yet though. All suggestions appreciated.

Are you linked in with a dealer?
If so, try to get Casa Ferrari tickets.

It was great speaking with you about your Boano on Saturday at the Ferrari of Silicon Valley Cars & Coffee. That heater box is crazy!

Regarding Car Week events, a lot of the biggies are already booked. Certainly you can make a strong case for showing at Quail (next year). Pebble too? Concorso Italiano will take ya sight unseen (even this year) (along with all us riffraff).

Yeah, it probably is a good idea to hassle the dealership to see what they can do. I have no idea how Casa Ferrari works although I remember Ferrari Corp soliciting for cars for Casa Ferrari when it moved to Pebble Beach 4 or 5 years ago. The Boano should be cool enough to make the cut, but who knows: its Ferrariville.

 

They have an email list. Maybe phone them and ask to be added. I don't think it's an exclusive "club" but maybe there are criteria.

They are nice people. They might be struggling with logistical issues though because the parking lot is very full.

 

Afraid that I'm not linked with the dealer, as my car is quite vintage (actually, I don't own anything modern!) But somehow I did get on their email list for the C&C. I understand that the owner is into vintage motorcycles? I'm pretty deep into vintage Indians, so perhaps I should contact him?

Thanks, RF.

 

HOW IS MOTORLUX (er, formerly McCalls Motorworks Revival ) shaping up now that it's changed owners?
Here's their extremely brief listing n What's Up Monterey (without the new name).

MY COMMENT:In the past, always though the cars weren't rare enough but let's face it, the wives like to go a place where they can dress up and drink cocktails. Maybe they will have more classic cars, or some introductions of new models? What's the plan?

 

CONCOURS ON THE AVENUE cancelled after the death of the sponsor but frustratingly the website is still up with the Georgia founder's address.

https://carmelconcours.com/contact.html

How much does it cost to put that event on? (including lunches for all the participants?) I am surprised no other sponsor is stepping in....

 

Ferrari has wrong date for Ferrari tour and concorso at Pebble Beach on their website, These are events that start the day before the PB Concours.

I quote as it reads May 31st on the site https://www.ferrari.com/en-US/auto/pebble-beach

"FERRARI PARADE AND CONCORSO FERRARI
Traditions at Monterey Car Week, the Ferrari Parade and Concorso Ferrari feature an extensive array of important historic and contemporary models. A sight to behold, more than 60 incredible Ferraris will wind their way through Pebble Beach toward Casa Ferrari. Join car aficionados from across the globe here via livestream on Saturday, August 14 at 2 P.M. PT and enjoy the sights, sounds and emotions of this spectacular event."

Trouble is Pebble Beach concours in 2022 takes place on August 21st so the day before is August 20th. I wrote them pointing out their mistake but I don't know if they listen to us mere mortals.
