Report and photos by Dennis Gray<\/p>\n

The Monterey Motorsports Pre-Reunion 2012 was held August 11-12 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, California.<\/p>\n

Formerly known as Monterey Pre-Historics, the event is held the weekend before the much, much larger Monterey Motorsports Reunion. The 2012 running of the Monterey Pre-Reunion was again open to the public, allowing spectators to enjoy a more relaxed paddock environment and a glimpse of the following weekend.<\/p>\n

The Pre-Reunion is designed to give Monterey Motorsports Reunion entrants — many of whom have never raced on the 11-turn, 2.238 mile Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca — track time before the green flag officially drops the following weekend. Typically about 50-75% of the cars that race in the Reunion also attend the Pre-Reunion and this year was no different, with approximately 250 historic racing cars on track compared to 550 scheduled for the 2012 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.<\/p>\n

Among the notable entrants at the 2012 Monterey Motorsports Pre-Reunion included the 1934 Alfa Romeo P3 of Jon Shirley; Charles Wegner’s 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB Tour de France; 1958 Porsche Abarth of Ranson Webster; Michael Malone’s Porsche 908; David Swig in his 1957 Monsterati and Alfa Romeo SZ; Erickson Shirley’s 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial; 1953 Siata 208CS of Jeffery O’Neill; Paul Perry’s Saab Phoenix H-Modified; 1960 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage driven by Jonathan Feiber; 1957 Greg Whitten’s Aston Martin DBR2 and ERA B-Type Romulus; 1962 Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Competizione of Mark Colbert; Peter Giddings in his Alfa Romeo Tipo B P3; in addition to a great selection of Cobras, the featured marque of the Reunion.<\/p>\n
