i went to a cars-n-coffee there a few years ago and much of the facility was open to walk through. i think it was a few weeks before monterey car circus week. there was aLOT of eye candy and various porsche race hardware strewn about... not really strewn but it was everywhere as cars were being prepped for the historics. there was a 917 engine on a pallet ready to be reinstalled just sitting there. i could have touched it, no ropes no "you touch you die" signs. no way i'd trust a bunch of strangers with coffee and donuts in their hands around that to not try using one of the velocity stacks as a cup holder.

Who was at fault there?

Was the owner expected to leave it in neutral because it was expected that it would be started up, or was the judge at fault for trying to start it without ensuring it was in neutral?

duno about you but i expect every parked manual transmission to be left in gear as i was taught. like FINE-C or whatever it is these days for starting a motorcycle. do the checklist.

i would imagine that entering the show has some lawyer language in there that indemnifies the judges and the event itself.

That was my first impression, I always left my manual shift cars in gear, I just don't know what the expectations were for a show like that, sometimes there are rules or expectations. Still, I would personally check to make sure it was out of gear before starting it, just like when I'm going to inspect the barrel of a gun.
 
Happening now!
LE is prepared for mahem…
… Seaside Police Chief Nick Borges recalled last year’s incidents, saying, “We had some parking lot takeovers that got a little bit hectic, some spinouts, burnouts, people really trying to have a sideshow. And they took over the In-N-Out parking lots occupied. That totally disrupted the business, then ventured off to our Home Depot parking lot.”

To prevent similar events, agencies across the peninsula are coordinating efforts. Seaside police will use decibel kits to measure exhaust noise and have certified 14 officers to issue state referee citations.

Seaside police enforce zero tolerance ahead of Car Week after last year’s disruptions

After reckless driving and vandalism during last year’s Car Week, Seaside police say they’re using decibel kits and zero tolerance enforcement to keep order.

weird that last year stood out. haven’t been to a monterey event in a couple of years, but used to go to many every year. the LEO’s all the way up to santa cruz seemed to look at the events like chum for citations. bit of a drill that everyone knew (run the hyper enforcement gauntlet).
 
We used to go every year. It was kinda required to get bitchin lodging.
It used to be pretty casual.

Before the internet and flash mobs…

Let’s just say if they were all in peak form and lined up for a races at Laguna Seca.
This is my pick for the win🏁

Wayne Rainey — The favorite

• Three‑time 500cc World Champion.
• Laguna Seca was his home track — he grew up racing there.
• His precision, corner speed, and ability to manage tires over race distance made him brutally consistent.
• If everyone is at peak form, Rainey is the most likely to put together a mistake‑free race.

Geez….
