Pampered & Stylish Ford Model T 1915 Racer Is Highlight At Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion
This year's edition of summer activities at Monterey Bay represents the 70th year of a group of events that helped to create Monterey Car Week - The Pebble Beach Concourse de'Elegance/Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
Two special non-race exhibitions were featured participant-groupings at the 2021 post-Wuhan Virus lockdowns and protocols Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. The Ragtime Racers Group 4B and the Group 7A: 1963-1978 IndyCar Historic gathering.
Sure, there were many examples of Ragtime Racers on display and on the track during the event Group 4B award winner was Brian Blain for recreating a 1920s era garage display for the group to stage in, and driving and displaying his 1916 Romano-Sturtevant Special.

But ... this little gem came to the track lashed on to the bed of a period piece stake truck travelling all of the way on today's public roads from the wilds of Carmel to Laguna Seca.

This edition of The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, that concluded August 15, 2021, annually recognizes the camaraderie of the gathering, and accomplishments of the drivers and their cars above all else. It is not about winning (to most - especially in the exhibition and display Groups), but about sharing their authentic cars’ history with others and enjoying these pieces of mechanical art articulate safely at speed.
