As soon as you arrive at the Monterey Historics and park your car, something becomes very clear: this isn't your typical bunch of parked cars! More late-model Porsches, Ferraris, and Corvettes than you can shake a briefcase full of nonsequentially-numbered $20 bills at, of course, but also dozens of funky old imports that drove to the event under their own seemingly miraculous power. I shot a handful of the cars I encountered on the walk between my parking space and the track. You can take the whole vintage-ride-to-vintage-race thing a big step further- if you're really serious- and do what the driver of a certain Trans Am Ford Falcon did: drive your race car to the track!
