Pacific Grove Recreation says registration remains open until 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, or until spaces fill. Openings remain for girls' soccer ages 5–6, 7–8 and 9–10 and co-ed soccer ages 7–8. The city has also opened free Youth Center after-school membership for Pacific Grove students in grades 6–12, covering weekday drop-in access and special events throughout the school year.

Thursday's Car Week activity shifts toward Pacific Grove's west side. Legends of the Autobahn runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pacific Grove Golf Links. The organizer says spectators must use designated event lots and that nearby on-street parking is restricted to residents; violations may bring ticketing or towing by Pacific Grove Police. Spectator parking is $30 when prepaid or $40 at the gate. Woodies in the Woods follows nearby from noon to 5 p.m. at Asilomar's Grand Cypress Meadow with free admission. Expect concentrated vehicles and pedestrians around Asilomar Boulevard, Sunset Drive and the conference grounds.
Pacific Grove's remaining Car Week schedule runs Tuesday through Friday. Asilomar parking lots B, C and D have overlapping closures; Tuesday brings Electric Coast and Night Rider, Wednesday closes Lighthouse Avenue between Fountain and Congress for the Little Car Show, Thursday combines Legends of the Autobahn at Pacific Grove Golf Links with Woodies in the Woods at Asilomar, and Friday's Rotary Concours Auto Rally stages on Lighthouse Avenue before a 2 p.m. shoreline drive. Allow extra time around Asilomar Boulevard, Sunset Drive, Lighthouse Avenue and Ocean View Boulevard.
Pacific Grove Police says Car Week events will bring increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic August 10–14. The local schedule includes Electric Coast and Night Rider at Asilomar, the Little Car Show downtown, Legends of the Autobahn at Pacific Grove Golf Links, Woodies in the Woods at Asilomar, and the Rotary Concours Auto Rally on Lighthouse Avenue.
