Go once in your life. Then go again.

Race weekends, concours lawns, and the 6am parking lots where the good stuff actually happens.
I grew up around cars and I've never grown out of it. What I love isn't really the racing — it's the ritual around it. The walk to the grandstand, the smell of the paddock at 8am, the guy who trailered a car four hundred miles just to park it on grass. That's what these are about.

Go once in your life. Then go again.

One long weekend if you're new. The full ten days if it's in your blood.

Skip the crowds. Do it on foot. Bring a jacket.

Go early. Bring cash for the coffee cart. Talk to strangers.
The restaurants and happy hours I book around a race calendar, from Monterey to Sonoma.
