Monterey Car Week is a ten day celebration of everything automotive! It takes place every year in California during the month of August.
For those that have not attended it can be a bit of a daunting experience, how do you plan for the week when there are so many different events taking place?
I decided to create a three part mini series to help provide a roadmap for the event.
I've been 4 times but would call myself an expert so I decided to enlist the help of Jim Lynch. Jim has attended the event 12 times and produces a PDF guide every year. If you want to download a copy of the guide you can do so here:

Or email me using the details below and I'd be happy to email you a copy.
I also invited friend of the podcast Ryan Bahrke as someone who has never attended car week. Ryan provides us with the questions we hadn't thought of asking. For those that don't know Ryan he is one half of The Steering Committee Podcast.
Part One Covers:
- Why you might want to attend
- Who attends car week
- How to think about the event in terms of tracks
- How to do car week on a budget
- A breakdown of the first weekend of car week - Friday Aug 11th to Monday Aug 14th inclusive.
My thanks to Jim and Ryan for joining me to create these episodes!
Buckle up for this comprehensive guide to Car Week!

Previous Episode
Danny P on Cars! Fellow Podcaster Jorge Aquino, We talk about car culture, the impact cars have on you growing up and how, if you ask dreams may come true!
We talk about us car nuts being part of the same tribe, well my next guest is a tribal leader! Jorge Aquino is a fellow podcaster and a true ambassador for car culture. Based in Tucson AZ he has a finger on the pulse of not only the local scene but wider US car culture and he shares this on his podcast Tormenting Tarmac.
I sat down with him, and the conversation flowed! We talked about the importance of nostalgia and how memories shape our desire for cars. I dig into his motivations to start a car podcast and how he uses it as a vehicle to promote local talent and fellow car lovers. We also talk about how he managed to secure one of his dream guests which has resulted in so much positive feedback and kudos.
It's a must-listen for any member of our car tribe!
My thanks to Jorge for his time, check out his podcast and start with the "here's Jonny" episode.
Also who would you have on your Mount Rushmore of car journalism?
