Jesup & Lamont:  This wealth management firm agreed to sponsor the 2009 California Mille.  They never paid and are also in a pay dispute with their lovely representative who accompanied us.  If any of our participants considered using their services, I'd suggest they reconsider.

2008 California Mille: Allowed Car Entires: When the first Mille Miglia revival was held in 1982, cars were only 25 years old. Now, they’re 51! So we’ve decided to allow a very few post ’57 cars each year, as long as they’re fundamentally the same design as a ‘57 or earlier predecessor. For example, this will make all 356’s and Alfa Guilia’s eligible for consideration. But it won’t help Jaguar XK-E’s – they’re so obviously a next-generation car. Last Night of the 2008 Mille: A surprise is in store on the last night of the 2008 Mille. On that day, May 1, 2008, a fine new lodge, in a spectacular location, is opening near Sausalito.  It’s Cavallopoint – the Lodge at the Golden Gate.

TBA
LA CARRERA NEVADA

In the 1950s, there were two great over-the-road races, Italy’s Mille Miglia and Mexico’s La Carrera Panamericana.
In 1991, Amici americani della Mille Miglia created the California Mille, a local motoring tour honoring the Mille Miglia. It is run each year.
Later in the ‘90s, we started La Carrera Nevada, a road tour in Nevada patterned after the Carrera Panamericana.
It is run on a more casual and irregular basis, whenever a group of those motoring enthusiasts get together for a new tour.
The name, and the symbol are the “glue” that identify the group.
