Want to mark the start of Monterey Car Week like a VIP? Come to our annual Classic Motorsports Monterey Kickoff Presented by Hagerty.

Join us today, August 16 from 3-7 p.m. in downtown Pacific Grove, California, at our annual Monterey Kickoff–the welcome party that brings together awesome cars, great people, perfect weather, and a kind of magic that only happens during Monterey Car Week.

Spectators are free and require no registration, however, so why not bring a friend or two? While you’re at the Kickoff, you’ll even be treated to live music during the show, with announcements, judging, results and awards broadcast via the PA system.

We have more partners this year than ever before, which means entrants get more goodies and more chances to win valuable prizes. And as a new feature for this year, Moss Motors, FCP Euro, Centerline and National Parts Depot will present blocks of cars organized by country of origin.

At this time, we are no longer accepting car entries. Show registration has reached its capacity of 150 cars. All new attempted entries will be added to a waitlist, and joining the wait list does not guarantee your car entry.
