Re: Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics

This story is about Chevy ramp trucks I swear....

This past week was the Pebble Beach Conours d'Elegance along with the Rolex Monterey Motorsports reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

On Thursday my son,Justin, and I made our way down to Carmel to catch the Pebble Beach Tour d Elegance. These rare and valuable show cars get 1 additional point in the judging if they make the 30 mile round trip from Pebble Beach show to Carmel.

When they get into Carmel they park on Ocean Ave from Noon-2 and crowds swarm all around these beauties. It was fun to see. Below are a couple shots of my favorites.

Silver car is a 1938 SS 100 Jaguar Coupe.
Red is a 1959 Ferrari 250GT.

Gotta hand it to these owners. Sharing their cars with the public crawling all around them is a great thing.

Afterwards we drove to Laguna Seca. Justin has driven the track in his Spec E30, so he knows it pretty well. They are celebrating 60 years of racing and had a tent with some historical cars and displays called "Racing through the Decades". Crowds were very light. We freely roamed the paddock to see up close many older race cars, talk with their mechanics and drivers and see them racing on the track. It was awesome.

Now about those Chevy trucks....While walking around I could not help but notice a couple cool C30 ramp trucks. They were clearly in top shape and working. Thought I'd share pictures of them.
