The 2017 running of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion was held August 14-17 at the 11-turn Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, California. The Reunion is one of the cornerstones of the Monterey Classic Car Week and the largest event held annually in the scenic coastal community.
Senior Photographer Dennis Gray documented the 2017 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. We often run into a problem when Dennis is in the field — too many good images. Given the deep field at this year’s Reunion, we ended up with not enough time to post all of the images in our original story. Therefore, in addition to our initial report and photos, we offer the following selection of photos too good to not share. Enjoy.
