    Here's my album on Flickr. Several Ferraris although not too many that were racing. Lots of Alfas and McLarens

    Super pix, thank you.
    Seems this event is much more interesting than the Rolex Motorsports Reunion in August at Laguna Seca.

    the event may move back to Sonoma raceway next yr. Laguna Seca is repaving the track so it depends on if the track is ready. Velocity organizers did a much better lay out for spectators with umbrellas and tables and chairs making it comfortable when its time to rest the old bones.
    i heard the food was so bad in the Velocity hospitality venue that my friends brought sandwiches from home.

    I come for the cars, certainly not for the food.

    then dont buy the food option ticket. those that did were promised a quality banquet. food failure similar to cavallino.

    Amazing plateau. And not overcrowded it seems!

    Sometimes only the food fails, sometimes the entire event or the entire organization does..........

    Thank you for sharing your pics, they are much better than mine. I didn't realize there were so many spectator Alfas.

    I agree with you, both in terms of spectator friendliness as well as poor quality of food. The food/wine ticket pricing was a poor value, in terms of both lack of food quality as well as quantity served (long lines for small platters of small portions that were infrequently set out). I'm reminded of Mr Massini's past unhappiness with the Concorso Italiano VIP package price. The pricing for "preferred parking" to not have to park in the dirt was also ridiculous.

    But overall it was a nice event to attend.
