As we approach the half-way point of 2009, the automotive industry is still in turmoil and the economy is just barely showing signs of recovery, but we still have plenty to be happy about. Dozens of concours events, cruise nights, and local shows are being held each and each weekend around the country. There’s probably one close to you. Greenwich, Huntington Beach, Los Angeles, and Rodeo Drive top that list of concours in June. There will also be plenty of racing action with another running of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans June 13 and 14. Formula 1 makes stops at Turkey and Silverstone. With the Indianapolis 500 over, IndyCar moves on to Texas, Iowa and Richmond. And NASCAR fans can see action at Pocono, Michigan International Speedway, Infineon and New Hampshire. Speed junkies will also have another go at land speed records when the next El Mirage event takes place June 14.

There will also be some auction action too, with a Bonhams sale at the Greenwich Concours d’Elegance and the Mecum Corvette Auction during Bloomington Gold in St. Charles, Illinois. One of our favorite events of the summer returns this June, the Friends of Steve McQueen Automobile Show in Chino Hills, CA. Other events on our Google Calendar this month include the Carlisle All-Ford Nationals, Susquehannock Trail Rally, Fleetwood Country Cruize-In, Corvettes of Myrtle Beach, Greatest Cruise on Turf, Wranglers’ All Ford Show and Swap Meet, 20th Annual Orphan Automobile Tour, Automezzi Colorado, Red Mill British Car Day, 14th Annual San Clemente Vehicle Show, GoodGuys Hot Rod Nationals, AutoMat’s 52nd Anniversary Vehicle Show, 24th Annual Huntington Beach Concours, UCP Concours d’Elegance, Ault Park Concours d’Elegance, Classy Chassis, Pismo Beach Classic Vehicle Show, 45th Annual L.A.
