Monterey Historics, August 17-19

[Zron]

The Monterey Historics at Laguna Seca Raceway are coming August 17th -19th and this year the Marque will be the Indy Roadsters.

Throughout the 1930's, 40's and 50's the Indy Roadsters were the big difference from the rest of the auto racing world. The roadsters, some of them built in the drivers garages, could put a driver on the track for $10,000. They were the days that driving talent meant just as much as the speed and stamina of the car.

Names like Jones, Foyt, Andretti, Vucovitch, Johncock came up the ranks of neighborhood racetracks for a try at the big time, and big money without ground effects, computers and much of the safety equipment that we all take for granted today.

ZONC is again putting together the Z Car Corral for Z's, 510's and roadsters to be on Saturday, August 18th. 35 tickets need to be sold at a price for the day is $65.00 per person thru ZONC and has to be in ZONC's hands by June 27th otherwise the cost at the gate will be $85.00 per person.
