This is a week long event. Every hotel, motel, house, overpass, etc, for 100 miles around is booked. This is the largest event, each year, in this part of CA. Several different concourses, historic auto races, exotic automobile auction, etc, etc, etc... We are talking very exotic machinery here and what seems like billions of people. There was even an exhibit of California street rods from the 50's [A very warm spot in my heart :-) ]. I was there for three days. There were cameras everywhere. I saw one Leica. An M6. A Japanese family. Go figure! Jim
