I missed the ticket lottery thing but I'm planning to come all the way from Brazil. I'll try and call to see if they still have tickets. Hefty prices at $550...
Quail has imposed a new technique of not mailing tickets prior to the event so that all tickets must be picked up at Will-call. They claim this to stop the possibiliity of scalping tickets but makes re-sale nearly impossible. It also makes it impossible to gift these to friends should you not be able to attend at the last minute. Add this inflexibility to the increased price and there are many tickets remaining. I hope they have enough workers at Will-Call to handle the huge numbers of patrons.
Suggest you go Thursday afternoon already during the set-up when most cars are there already and it's free and no spectators and you can save a lot of money. The whole ticket system is complete b.s., especially when you come fom outside the U.S. Will call will be a joke! Not a good service. Marcel Massini (coming from Zurich, Switzerland)

I'll be there with 308 GTB chassis 19567, fresh from the FCA Annual. Looking forward to seeing all the great cars and friends. Forza, David
Thank you for the tip Marcel. I am going to add that to my list of things to do at Monterey. As an aside, does anyone know how early one can show up to Pebble Beach with plain spectator tickets. They say the field opens to spectators at 10:30 but I would like to show up earlier. Will I get turned away at 8:30 or 9:00? Cheers, Kurt O.
P = posteriore (rear) 53 = 5.3 litre 8= cylinders in 1965 Mike Gammino from Boston first approached Ferrari to build him a Can Am car but Ferrari said no,not his thing. Gammino having raced both GTO's and a Iso A3C was very familiar with Giotto Bizzarrini. Gammino contacted Giotto and asked if he was interested in building a rear engined car. Giotto liked the idea of a mid engined race car and needed a new mid engined design for the next LeMans, so he took the job. Birth of the P538. The body of the P538 is a chopped version of the early design Giugiaro did while at Bertone for the Miura. Bizzarrini later gave Giugiaro parts off a crashed P538 so he could build Ital designs first car the Manta. The first P538 for Gammino had a Lamborghini engine, it was crashed in testing and the engine and parts were put into a second chassis. It's my guess that Bizzarrini used one of the earliest prototype lamb V12's for this car, one that he may have kept while he was designing the engine. That car sits in the San Diego auto museum but the block number hasn't been verified yet. The car pictured above was later built by Bizzarrini for a Frenchman and has a special side radiator system.
