Bob Varsha also attended, though a few years before I did.

Small world.
A very small world indeed! I didn’t have to read Paradise Lost, but I do remember a toga party...

I’m still dealing with the logistics of relocating, and my car needs a new set of tires before it goes back to the track, but I’m hoping to do my first event out here soon. Mahler9th has given me a ton of great info and connections, and I really appreciate the other posts above with info...I can tell I’ve moved to a place with a ton of great track options!

Old thread... We have already attended an event together as spectators (the last RR), so now its time for drivin.' Tomorrow!

Hopefully white924s will have a fantastic experience. I will do my best to contribute.

Haven't instructed there in a while, but I expect that won't be an issue.

It was a great day! I’ve wanted to drive Laguna for a long time - and the experience exceeded my expectations (not least because of the excellent coaching - thanks again Mike!).

For my friends back east who haven’t driven Laguna Seca yet - I highly recommend you find an opportunity/excuse to do it. The elevation changes and camber changes around the course are a lot of fun to drive.

Looking forward to the next one!

They are not. Drivers self-tech and self-place in run groups, and SpeedVentures does not take any action if a driver causes damage to other vehicles.
