Seems like photography timing is reversed; i.e., early (6 – 8am ) used to be best for less spectators but this year the crowds were there at dawn. Then while the awards took place around 2 pm, the crowds moved toward the ramp and opened up the car perspective. Thus one has waited 8 hours for some unobstructed photos. The whole Monterey Week, especially Thurs. thru Sunday, has become a zoo without any fences.
Hey – Just came across this photo of us for the first time while searching the web. We are the dark blue 1925 Aston with the big 3 on it. It is awesome! Any chance we could get the file so we can make a frameable copy? Please let me know.Thanks! Wendy

You nailed it Steve. There was zero bonus for getting up at 4:30am this year to shoot Pebble.
Great photos. Next year the event should separate the “I restored it myself” owner’s group from the “I paid the most” people.
The closest you will come to self restored is the Preservation class; i.e., probably mechanically rebuilt but not unpatined.
that Alfa Superflow is one sexy lady. Great pics.
What a perfect color for that elegant 1938 Alfa !!
“… little dingy in the background.” dinghy, ed. “dingy” is what your whites are if you never use bleach on them.
Thanks Stephen. We corrected the dingy mistake…
That Ford GT40 mark I was NOT the only Mark I to run Le Mans Twice. Ford GT40 Chassis P/1075WON Le Mans twice Gulf colors number six .
Did it run in Mark I configuration for both wins? I thought it was upgraded to a different spec for the second win.
