8. Friday -- June 21, 2013 – The Rallye Basilone
Partnering with the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, the select
group of cars and attendees will depart from the St. Regis and make its scenic trek to
Camp Pendleton to see firsthand what many civilians do not: the base and its facilities.
As part of Friday's activities, the Rallye Basilone will enter the base at Cristianitos Gate
and tour the facilities via the historic Basilone Road, which was named after United States
Marine Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone. Gunnery Sgt. Basilone was the only Marine to be awarded
both The Medal Of Honor and The Navy Cross during World War II. His extraordinary efforts in the
Battle for Henderson Field at Guadalcanal earned him The Medal of Honor from President
Franklin D. Roosevelt and The Navy Cross was awarded to Basilone posthumously following the invasion
of Iwo Jima where the Marine ultimately laid down his life for our country.
We proudly bear his name as the title of the historic tour during the automotive weekend.

14. Barry Meguiar–2013 Automotive Icon
A true automotive enthusiast, Barry Meguiar has been passionately involved with cars since he was a
child. Working summers at the family business, Barry would cover for production assembly employees
when they went on vacation. After climbing the ranks, working in all aspects of the business from
accounting to client relations and even advertising, Barry took the reins of the company in 1973.
Today, Meguiar's is the worldwide leading producer of cleaners, polishes, waxes, conditioners and
protectants for every type of vehicle on the road and in the water.
His love for the automotive industry is apparent in everything he does. In 1973, after four years of
market research, business planning, new product formulating and package design, Barry launched
Meguiar's into the consumer market with their now famous Cleaner Wax. He was actually responding
to the pent-up demand for Meguiar's products among car guys since the car hobby began.
Not resting on his laurels, Barry introduced "Car Crazy" TV and Radio programs to reinvigorate a
declining hobby. With his help, the gap between the older and younger generations has grown smaller
and smaller. Today, after being the longest running show on SPEED Channel, Car Crazy is now aired on
Discovery's Velocity Channel.
Barry is also recognized around the world as a prominent role model in the collector car hobby. He's
donated time, funds and expertise to the community, including a grant to help build a ramp and stage
for the Dana Point Concours d'Elegance® award ceremony in 2012. He attends automotive events
worldwide as both an exhibitor and a judge, including the Amelia Island Concours d‘ Elegance and the
Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
He received the inaugural Petersen Automotive Museum's Automotive Icon Award, is a Route 66 Hall
of Fame recipient, and was the Copper State 1000 Grand Marshal, the Coronado Speed Fest Man of
the Year, Cranbrook Concours d'Elegance Person of the Year and Palos Verdes Concours d'Elegance
Grand Marshal.
The Dana Point Concours d'Elegance® is proud to have Barry as its friend, colleague and fellow
gearhead. That is why the Dana Point Concours d'Elegance® is crazy for Car Crazy's Barry Meguiar.
