The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, August 17-19 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, celebrates the life of Carroll Shelby, 1923-2012, and honors the 50th anniversary of the iconic Shelby Cobra with a variety of activities. Carolla will be driving two of his cars this year, a 1970 Datsun 510 and 1974 Datsun 260Z, racing on both Saturday August 18 and Sunday August 19. In last year's race, Carolla was awarded a Rolex Trophy for his driving performance.
