Every August, the small seaside town of Monterey, California, briefly becomes the center of the automotive world. With the historic races, now officially known as the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, the legendary Pebble Beach Concours dElegance, and a multitude of auctions selling collector cars of all kinds, theres something for everyone. It feels like every corner you turn on the Monterey peninsula reveals another once in a lifetime sighting of a car you never expected to see outside a museum.

The Rolex Reunion has a featured marque every year, and this time it was the Shelby Cobra. 2012 marked the 50th anniversary of Caroll Shelbys iconic car, and in the aftermath of his sad passing, this years events in Monterey became a celebration of the great racer and builders life, as well as of his cars. At Laguna Seca, 45 original competition Cobras took to the track in their own dedicated class, including one of the six original Daytona Coupes, several others appeared in other classes, and hundreds of Cobras were on show in the pits, paddock, and camping areas. Quite a few significant Cobras were on show across town at Pebble Beach, as well.

Classes at Laguna Seca represented almost every period of auto racing before the current generation. From the dawn of motorsports in the early 1900s, to the peak of performance at Le Mans and in IMSA in the 1980s and 1990s, and with everything from Mille Miglia-style GTs to historic NASCAR stock cars, just about every form and era of road racing was on track.

On Sunday, the Pebble Beach country club, a few minutes away from Laguna Seca, hosted their famous Concours dElegance.

(Infiniti was the title sponsor of Pebble Beach this year, and their EMERG-E electric supercar concept attracted quite a bit of attention. Infiniti hasnt confirmed production, but there are two fully-functional mules being tested, and it would certainly make an impressive rival to Lexuss LF-A and LF-LC.)

Auctions are also a major part of the Monterey scene. Gooding, RM, and Mecum are just some of the events held during the week. Goodings auctions, held at Pebble Beach on Saturday and Sunday, set a new record for total sales at an event auction.

(Above: This 1957 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Prototype crossed the block for $6,000,000, at the lower end of the estimate.)
