Event Info:

Laguna Seca is a legendary 2.238 mile track in Central California, and one of the two most in-demand tracks in the west. Come out with us and you'll get the best track time per dollar value you'll see at Laguna. Test your skills on the world-famous corkscrew and compare your times to those set by the big names of ALMS, NASCAR, CART and the stars of yesteryear. Laguna Seca is a challenging course best suited to intermediate and advanced drivers.


Note: Noise Restrictions at Laguna Seca: We are happy to say that this is a 92db day (rather than the usual 90db day)! Basically a guy sits off to the right of the track and takes noise readings. If you go over the limit, you will be black flagged and told to go into the pits and figure out a way to quiet the car down. People with loud cars (RX-7's in particular) will need to make adjustments for this event. The most effective and easiest adjustment is simply lift off the throttle when you go by the sound station. Another option is to add a turndown to the exhaust, which you can do with a clamp-on. See this thread for more information.

There is no aftermarket rollbar requirement for this event.


*Novices in this case are those who have not driven on a track before.
**Note - Details of this event are subject to change.

sounds like a ball, since I have never been on and official track yet anyone have suggestions on what track to start with. I have watched the CART indy car races there many times, love that track.

If you never been open tracking, I wouldn't suggest there or sears for first time. Too easy to wrap the car up if you do something stupid. Go to Buttonwillow, or even Thunderhill for first events. THat way you can learn control, before you get on a track where you could kill yourself, or someone else. Not saying you have no control, just giving an opinion from seeing others on tracks.
