The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion 2010, held August 12-15 at the 2.238-mile, 11-turn Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, featured more than 600 vintage race cars grouped into 19 classes. Photographer Dennis Gray documented the racing action, offering a total of 275 images from the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion 2010 on top of 100 photos from the Monterey Pre-Reunion.
Even still, we often run into a problem when Gray is at the track – too many good images, especially on a huge race weekend like the 2010 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Given the massive field of historic race cars on track at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, we ended up with not enough time and/or room to post all of the images in our original stories.
In addition to on-track images from multiple turns and angles, the gallery includes several photographs of cars resting in the paddock, highlighted by detailed shots of the Vittorio Jano 1930 Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3, chassis # 5006, currently owned and competitively raced by Peter Giddings.

I don’t know how you do it time and time again…EXCELLENT images Dennis.
Great images Dennis, in addition to the fantastic track shots, you left me intrigued about the Giddings split differential and the 6 wheel formula one. Your knowledge of these cars and drivers adds a lot to the portfolio.
Thanks to Dennis for his high quality images and keen eye on the track and in the paddock.
