Japanese business and tourism professionals will tour Monterey next week
The Monterey-Nanao relationship dates back to 1986, when a group from Nanao first visited Monterey Bay to study the city’s economic drivers. Like Monterey, Nanao is a coastal community that repositioned itself as a tourist destination after its fishing industry diminished. Several delegations visited California in the following years, and local Rotary clubs and non-profit organizations got involved in hosting and leading presentations.

Start your engines and race to the American Le Mans Series
Short of taking a trip to France, the best way to see the high-speed, high-tech Le Mans Prototypes and GT cars of the American Le Mans Series, patterned after the famed 24 hours of Le Mans, is in this four-hour endurance challenge at Laguna Seca Raceway, October 17- 19.
The Saturday afternoon race into the darkness race concludes the Laguna Seca season with Le Mans Prototypes from Audi, Porsche, Mazda, Acura, Dodge and Ford battling on the same track with production-based GT cars from Corvette, Porsche, Ferrari and Panoz.
Laguna Seca is a quick (within the speed limits!) drive from Monterey.
