The Rolex Monterey
Motorsports Reunion 2010
A personal report by Michael Rockich.
These annual races feature cars from nearly every epoch of motorsports racing history. They cater to the weekend race car enthusiast and driver. The Reunion covers four days, and more counting the Pre-Reunion the week before. Over 600 historic racing cars with drivers representing 13 countries took to the track. Formula One was well represented also. The Historic Grand Prix (HGP) organization was involved in bringing 34 authentic Formula One cars to the Reunion.
This year the races paid special tribute to 79 year old Dan Gurney, a driver and manufacturer who has impacted motorsports probably more than any other American. Every race car that appeared on track could also be viewed in the paddocks close up, including the historic F1 racers, and the unlimited Can Am cars.
