If you’re heading to the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races, August 17-19, 2007, at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, you might want to drop in a day early for a panel discussion about racing developments in the last 25 years.
The Evolution to Revolution forum, presented by Toyota, is being billed as “an entertaining discussion with stories of innovation, planning, hard work, exact science and plain dumb luck.”
Speed Channel’s Dave Despain will host and moderate the free-wheeling discussion that includes some of the most influential behind-the-scenes experts in the fields of racing, high-performance vehicles, engineering, aerodynamics and advanced fuels. Sharing their views will be experts: Richard Cregan, Pierre Dupasquier, Herb Fishel, Mario Illien, Richard Karlstetter and Phil Remington.
The forum begins at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 16, at Laguna Seca Raceway’s Red Bull Center in conjunction with Toyota’s sponsorship of the Rolex Monterey Historic Automobile Races. Admission to the “Evolution to Revolution” forum is free to anyone in attendance.
