Default Laguna Seca - Nov 10th

For those of you who are interested, this event just became available.

This was sent to me so I'm passing it along:

"On the Edge Track days is sponsoring an event at Laguna Seca November 10. This is not a GGLC event, but the promotor is pretty cool and, hey, it's Laguna. Price is $280 if you sign up by 9/15 and includes lunch and photos. If you sign up, please mention that you heard about it through the GGLC. http://www.extpictures.com/ontheedge.php"

Also tell Carlos that I sent you, Rich Alfinito. No, I don't get a discount, it helps Carlos knowing the sources.

BTW - a hand full of us are already signed up (red group) so if you want to run with us, you'll know which group to select. Having said that,

Please read the criteria for each run group and regardless of which group you sign up for, we should all have a fun time!

Oh for those of you who may not be familiar with GGLC, it stands for Golden Gate Lotus Club. I know some of you have run with them before but it never hurts to clarify.

Thanks
Rich

It's all good. Laguna Seca hasn't updated their site. As I mentioned earlier, this change just happened. I believe the 11th is up for grabs. Not sure though.

If you want to sign up, here is the link: On The Edge Trackdays - EXTPICTURES.COM

Thx
Rich

Yep, the price good for a weekday. Laguna Seca commands 350.00 + for weekends and even higher for prime months. We will more than likely have nice weather this time of the month. We have done December and January events for the last 10 years at Laguna Seca and only 2 times we have had rain. "Knock on Wood"

Last year we ran at Thunder Hill with the Lotus Club on June 5th and got rained out in the afternoon. Thunder and Lightening like I've never seen before!

It would be a blast if you, Chris, Mike, Joey, Rich and any other locals to run this event. If anybody was around in the late 90's, we use to run WWW events at Laguna Seca in December. Oh WWW stands for The "Wonderful World of Wankels", of course we would have to call it something else clever.

I still have the run times from our time trials for 1999 and 2000. We ran with TCC, Touring Car Club which are based down in LA but they no longer come this far North. Anyway those were the days when there would be 20+ 3rd gen's at the event and they came from all parts of the U.S.
At the time, we were pretty tight with Shiv Patel and Brian Richards from Mostly Mazda, (aka M2 Performance) Actually Josh from SCC participated too. I don't mean to name drop, I'm just reminiscing the "good ole days"

Maybe it's time for all you folks to start something up again. Hint...

Besides you guys aren't afraid of Corvettes are you

This is a very good rate. Last year in February it was over $300 for a weekday. If my car was put together I'd be in - still waiting for my subframe but everything else is sitting in the shop ready to be installed!
Be aware of the noise restriction - I got meatballed with the rotary for 97db's. I think the limit is 92. After the second time - you get sent home for the day. Bring a turnout or some steel wool if you think your car may be loud....
