I don't know why the race can't be held to coincide with The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance?

The race has its origins with the Pebble Beach Road Races of the 1950s, which ended in 1956 with the death of Ernie McAfee and therefore a purpose built track was constructed at Laguna Seca.

Originally the races were held in tandem with The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, which was a last-minute addition, intended to add a bit of style and provide an extra attraction to the race.
