Entry to the Monterey Historics is a mystical quest, an ethereal venture
into the unknown. All I can advise you to do is write to HMSA /General
Racing and plead your case. You must first join the bloody organization to
have any chance to get in that Holy Grail of races. Steve Earle gets 1000's
of entries every year. He's a businessman, he's putting on a show ( a good
one) and he can pick and choose from the top cars in the WORLD. So don't be
disappointed if you don't make the cut.
Good luck,
Don Queen
