If this is what you are referring to, may not be as bad as initially reported ("indefinitely")

It is/was fine to drive. There were two one lane zones from Pismo to Mry. I wouldn't do it on a summer weekend day, but a weekday on the way up is fine.
Didnt know about the recent issue. I'd think by rr4, it would be fine.

Don't worry Denny. If they don't have it open by then, there are a TON of drives up to Monterey. Maybe they might not be as scenic, but there are many fantastic side roads that can be even more fun, if you can imagine that. Carmel Valley road comes to mind as one alternate off of 101 that I absolutely love, and it's a pretty drive too.
I WANT THE POSTER!!! I'll make more space on the wall, the ceiling if I have too.

As stated, the road will be a non-issue by then. Trust me, if it is anything at all approaching RR3, you'll not be disappointed that you bought tix.

FYI. I just booked a room at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa on Del Monte Golf Course through Priceline.com for $126 a night.

Yeah, when I was 18 or 19 and it was a stretch to have the gas money to get to the track to volunteer with a race "team" (such as they were with SCCA), or to work corners, etc. for a PCA Time Trial.
But there are good facilities. I believe tent city is in the area up off of T6. If you're a camper, and not doing it for financial reasons, the weather will be on the cool side at night but you should have a good time.

Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV Starts Its Engine
9magazine.com's "Porsche Rennsport Reunion IV Starts Its Engine:"
Groupings, Schedule of Greatest Gathering of Porsche Race Cars Released
Preparations for Rennsport Reunion IV continue, and Porsche Cars North America and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca today released the latest race groupings and schedules for the fourth installment of the now famous event to be held from October 14 – 16, 2011. This rare occasion will reunite the cars and drivers that together have written Porsche’s motorsports history during the last 60 years on all five continents.
When Porsche Cars North America held the first Rennsport Reunion in the summer of 2001 at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, it didn’t take long for the participants to realize they were sharing in something extraordinary. Subsequent Rennsports, II and III, were both held at Daytona International Speedway in Florida and built upon the original premise, remarkable racecars reunited with their equally remarkable drivers.
As in the past three reunions, cars will be grouped by the period in which they raced so that enthusiasts can fully focus on the different motorsports eras with their ever more ferocious machines and increasingly sophisticated technology. All fans will have full access to both paddocks and trackside to view everything from the tiny but nimble Porsche 550 Spyder through the groundbreaking 906 and 908 with their plastic bodies to the mighty 917 with over 1,000 horsepower.
A majority of the hundreds of race cars expected will be made up by the many racing versions of Porsche’s iconic 911 model. From its rather humble beginnings as 911 TR in the mid-Sixties this car was for two decades the platform of motorsports legends. Letters and numbers such as RSR, 934 or 935 to GT3 series have stood for proven winners at that time and contributed heavily to the over 30,000 victories that Porsches collected over the past 60 years.
Eight groups promise a jam packed three-day racing program with practice, qualifying and warm-up for each group. The races will be complemented by an exhibition parade and a Concours on Saturday afternoon. The weekend will conclude with a guest appearance of the Cayman Interseries and a race of modern 911 Cup cars for the Rennsport Reunion Trophy.
