When you attend a world class car show, you should expect some drama and excitement. But I am pretty sure that nothing will ever match the excitement when the show cars come through the entrance in back of the Lodge and start to drive on the field at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. You stand there, just a few hundred feet from the Bay, waiting anxiously until about 6:30 when it warms up and sunrise is about to begin, and they start their run.
