The Second Annual Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival, which will take place June 4\u20135, at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California, has attracted an entry of 400 significant automobiles from all over the world. They will take part in races for a baker\u2019s dozen of race groups, and included among their number are 26 examples of McLarens, the event\u2019s featured marque.<\/p>\n

Among those McLarens will be Richard Griot\u2019s 1967 M6A\/1, the car company founder Bruce McLaren drove to that year\u2019s Can-Am championship, and Chris MacAllister\u2019s 1971 M8F\/1 (pictured) with which Denis Hulme finished 2nd to teammate Peter Revson for the \u201971 Can-Am crown. A pair of McLaren F1 cars will also be on hand, a 1970 M14A owned by Scott Drnek, and Bob Baker\u2019s ex-Jody Scheckter 1973 Yardley M23.<\/p>\n

\u201cChoosing McLaren as our marque means we will pay special tribute to the name, the teams and the cars that McLaren has produced,\u201d said event organizer Steve Earle of General Racing Ltd. \u201cWhile we are featuring the McLaren, this year\u2019s field of racecars is indeed eclectic, historic and significant, and the weekend should provide every racing fan a wonderful experience.\u201d A complete list of all the entries, and ticketing information may be found at www.sonomahistoric.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
