Featured Cars of the Month
Pacific Grove photo shoot; Saturday, July 10, 2010
Staged in downtown Pacific Grove for the 2010 Auto Rally poster. Rally will take place on Friday, August 13, 2010.
In attendance were Steve and Jennifer Chapman, Rick Pickering, Rod Davison, Myron Moreno,
John and Sally O’Toole, Rob Lee, Robert Wilson, Tom Hasenberg, and prospective member Steve Randazzo.
We left from Home Depot at 6:00AM and arrived in Pacific Grove at 7:15AM. We were met by the auto rally
coordinator Vic Johnson and photographer Rick Pharaoh. The deal was that VMOA would supply the cars, and they
would select the ones they wanted to use in the photos for the poster.
They had set up a backdrop by the storefronts on Lighthouse Avenue. Their idea was to photograph the cars and
superimpose them onto the backdrop shot that they had taken at 5:00AM. The photographer loved Tom’s Shelby, and
heavily favored Robert’s Sportsroof and Rob’s fastback in the shots he took.
The weather was cool and overcast and we had the street mainly to ourselves. We were admonished about partially
blocking the street halfway through the shoot; but then the policewoman who had come to check on us blocked off the
street with her patrol car and directed traffic around us. She was quite helpful and friendly. Myron did volunteer
himself and his car for a hot pursuit, but the event ended quietly.
After the poster shoot the photographer took a group shot of all the cars down in the parking lot at the municipal
beach. Some of the group then went into Monterey to Rosine’s for breakfast, and then we had a quick drive home.
It was a really fun event, and we’re all anxious to see the poster. The club extends a big thank you to John O’Toole
for arranging and coordinating the event.
