 This year's eighteenth anniversary celebration is destined to be one of the best as Gordon and Molly McCall prepare to 'wow' their faithful following of VIP guests now topping over 2500. The horsepower of the guests surpass even the horsepower on display, while McCall's private airport party has become known as the highest concentration of high-powered people and machinery on the Monterey Peninsula for the entire Monterey car week.International sponsors join in the spirit of the celebration together with California's best regional foods and local Bernardus wines by pulling out all the stops when it comes to supporting the 2009 McCall event. Porsche, Breitling, Gulfstream, Bombardier, Piaggio, and Bonham's & Butterfeilds are just a few of the 'high-water mark' companies providing style and elegance to the eclectic evening of gourmet delectables and fast paced machinery. Wall to wall Motorsports icons fill the 30,000 square foot state-of-the-art hangar and adjacent 1+ acre tarmac with racing legends such as Jim Hall, Wayne Rainey, Jim Busby, Danny Sullivan, Dan Gurney, Pete Lovely, and many others. 'We are really excited to create an event that will get people charged and enthusiastic about the weeks events to come. There's a lot to do on the Monterey Peninsula over the next few days and we love being a part of the positive energy.' says McCall, a passionate Motorsports fan who travels the country now wearing many hats: As good will 'Ambassador' for the MOTORWORKS event, Specialist for Bonham's & Butterfeilds, and Co-Founder of the elegant motorsports gathering 'The Quail', and the new The Quail Motorcycle Gathering- Two world class events for motorsports and motorcycle enthusiasts. McCall stays busy and keeps his 'ear to the ground' year round, not only staying on top of every aspect of the car market both vintage and contemporary but also meeting the world's most interesting collectors and automobile aficionados. Charities are the focus of this 'E-ticket' fun, as the California Highway Patrol's 11-99 Foundation, and the Naval Postgraduate School Foundation, are the beneficiaries of Gordon's campaigning and keen vision for the annual bash. Each year, Breitling provides a chronograph watch to the event 'raffle' and guests purchase tickets for a chance to win. Annually, the generosity of this VIP group has resulted in a combined six-figure total for both charities — another winning combination for all.  |
