This photo gallery features my 150 favorite images from the 2016 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. Unlike my previous report<\/a> published August 23rd, these galleries are not race reports — they are images I find exciting.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of the 2016 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion was shooting the Scarab Mk I and Ferrari 412 MI. Both race cars have spent time in my studio, therefore I have more examples of them than expected. Yet, if you remember Chuck Daigh and Phil Hill at Riverside in 1958, then how can there be too many images of these cars?<\/p>\n

During practice on Thursday morning, I could hear the scream of the Scarab and Ferrari engines around turn five and coming up the hill towards turn six. They suddenly appeared out of the fog drifting turn six nose to tail accelerating up the hill into the fog towards turn seven. Chris Cox in the Ferrari 412 MI on the tail of David Swig’s Scarab Mk. I, both on the limit. I doubt Chuck or Phil could have gotten those two cars around the track any quicker.<\/p>\n

The Group A cars ran through thick, wet foggy morning sessions Thursday, Friday and Saturday giving me some unusual images. With no exaggeration Thursday morning I was unable to see the other side of track or the bridge over the track. Once the Group 1A cars started to run the fog cleared a bit but you can see from the images that the fog was heavy.<\/p>\n
