The Pebble Beach Road Races ran entirely through the densely wooded Del Monte Forest on the Monterey Peninsula in California on the USAโs West Coast. Held annually from 1950 to 1956, the famous 1.8- to 2.1-mile street circuit utilized narrow, winding residential roads. Drivers navigated blind bends while hemmed in tightly by towering pine trees, with only hay bales and snow fencing separating them from the spectators and unyielding tree trunks. More than one video is available on YouTube called Racing Through the Forest
In 2026 when we celebrate the Pebble Beach Road Races 75th, there is a new definitive book. Or should that beโฆ books. Heroes of the Forest is a four-volume book set that passionately tells the story of the Pebble Beach Road Race, which was contested from 1950 through 1956 over the winding roads of the Del Monte Forest. The events were exciting and dangerous, and they launched the careers of many of Americaโs top drivers. Authored by automotive enthusiast, collector, racer, researcher, and journalist Mark R. Brinker, this engaging and entertaining book set chronicles the Pebble Beach races, competitors, and cars with a depth and detail never before assembled in a single work.
