just managed to book a room at unscripted monterey, I think it's formally the best western. Nice flat covered parking. Still rooms available. The rate is highway robbery but it's better than stuck in traffic in a CGT, the clutch is much more expensive...

You guys realize roll in even for concours participants is 7-9am. So you don't need to be there right at 7am. I'm not saying roll in at 8:45, but an 8am roll in time gives you more than enough time to get situated. There's a high level of dust there that collects on the cars fast, so if you are set up ready to go by 8am, u will be dusting your car down by 930-10am

I think I might find myself in the beer tent around 1pm ... prost!

Larry Cable

another advantage of arriving late ... you get parked nr the fringes of the corral which means you make a quicker escape!

I would rather arrive early, drop the car off leave to go eat come back and do a wipe down after.

Also, do not under estimate the traffic on Carmel Valley Rd. come late and it's the same experience as Oracle arena

I signed up and paid.
Change of plans so, I can't attend.
I would be happy to give my place away to anyone who would like to go.
If you would like my spot, just pm me.

Thanks

Yep traffic is bad. I rolled in at 8:45 last year. And got a great end spot on the 997 row but definitely scrambled to get everything done. But I hear ya doing it the less stressful way and getting their early. I wasn't able to get my car into Bob before this show this year so I'm definitely not scoring well with the concours judges lol. Eve last year I had serious concours participants parked around me telling me areas I should be cleaning like taking duct tape and dabbing it on the carpet under the seats to clear off some lint

I planned on leaving Livermore at 7, but i'm just spectating (and shopping), so too late? That will get me in 9ish with a little bit of silicon valley traffic, how much traffic is in monteray 8-9 on fri? is it slammed?

I got down there by about 9 last year, and traffic basically came to a stop on Highway 1 about where the freeway ends just north of Ocean Avenue. It was a real crawl from there down to Carmel Valley Road. I was thinking about coming over Laureles Grade near Laguna, and then west on Carmel Valley Road to the Werks Reunion. Anybody try that last year, and how did it work?

Larry Cable

I was wondering the very same thing...
