Any Exotic Cars gathering in Monterey tomorrow Evening?

I was curious to know if there is going to be any exotic car gatherings on Thursday Evening. I will be there on Friday morning/afternoon. I am kind of debating if I should go there on Thursday night or not. Someone told me a name of the street/place (forgot the name) that most of the exotic cars should be out there around 7ish Thursday Evening. I would like to confirm that so if anyone knows for sure please let me know. I know Italian Stampede will be coming to town on Thursday but not sure what time those guys are getting there. I am looking to buy a 6.0 Diablo so hopefully I will see some good 6.0 there. I do have plans for this weekend so I will be heading back from Monterey on Friday evening.

 

Thanks guys

Concours d'LeMons

 

Craving Pintos, Pacers and Corvairs instead of Porsches, Ferraris and Rolls-Royces? For an auto show that is the reverse of everything the Concours d'Elegance holds dear, head to Toro Park on Saturday, August 14 for Concours d'LeMons. "Celebrating the Oddball, Mundane and truly Awful of the automotive world," this auto show has classes including "Rust Belt American Junk," "Der Self-Satisfied KrautenWagen, "Needlessly Complex Italian" and "Rueful Britannia." This year's show includes an Auto Jumble for those seeking to sell obscure car parts, or find them! Last year's "Worst of Show," a 1980 KV Mini 1, had to be towed 1000 miles to the Concours d'LeMons. Who will be the lucky winner this year?

 

Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance

 

The banal term "auto show" hardly befits the most elegant exhibition of classic automotives in the world. Only the finest 175 classic cars will be allowed onto the 18th fairway at Pebble Beach Golf Links during this event. The culmination of a week of classic automotives, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance features the Bugatti and Bentley marques and opens to spectators at 10:30am on Sunday, August 15th. Purchase tickets on the official Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance website.

 

Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion

 

While seeing classic cars on a golf course may be a treat, watching them compete on one of the world's finest racetracks is a can't-miss experience.

Watch the practice races on Thursday and Friday, August 12-13, and races by car class and era on Saturday and Sunday. The fun goes from 8:45am until 5pm every day.
