Laguna Seca here we come...AGAIN!!!

Come on out to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with Leadfoot Adventures on Wed January 31, 2007 for another great track day at this world-famous road course! Leadfoot Adventures is known for their low cost - high value events, and this one is no exception. The cost is only $279 until the end of this year, and registration is now open at MotorsportReg.com. This event is expected to fill up quickly since Laguna events are really hard to get into and usually cost over $300 (sometimes way more than that!)

As always, breakfast in the morning and bottled water all day are included at no extra charge, and this time we're springing for lunch too. All drivers are welcome to attend the morning classroom session as well as the instructional novice and intermediate download sessions throughout the day. Each driver will receive at least 4 run sessions and the maximum we'll allow on track at any one time is only 25 cars!

See ya at the track!

 

Laguna Seca is absolutely fantastic. I need to see if I can have the car ready to go by then. Business trip in Phoenix the week before, so it might be dicey timing wise, but I definitely am going to try. Thanks for putting this on.

 

Signed up and ready to go! This will be great!

 

Any make of vehicle welcome? hehe, i might have to bring a mazda. lolz.

 

You guys have to try and make this one....I went last year and the track is phenomenal!! Going to try this year as well...we will see. Being on a Wednesday makes it hard....

I'm coming. Can't wait.

 

Is there anyway to see who has signed up and what types of cars? If not no prob. I'm still trying to figure out a way to make the event. Was supposed to go on Honeymoon that week. lolz. hmmm, decisions decisions.

My track wheels finally came in so just gonna get tires and see what this car can do.

Rishie

 

You should see my wifes face right now............that has to be the craziest thing ever......I think the honeymoon takes precedent. Laguna will always be there, your wife might not if you to to Laguna!

 

Damn I wish I live near there...sounds like fun. I've only "seen" Laguna seca on the Ps2 LOL

 

lolz. That's funny. Most definitely I would pick the wife over laguna, especially for an event such as our honeymoon. We're still trying to figure out if we can get that whole week off of work, we might just drive somewhere next week. So there are some logistical issues we're figuring out. If it doesn't happen i'm definitely gonna shoot up to this. Laguna is only 1.5hrs from me. But thank you for the sane advice. You've helped to keep me focussed. hehe.

 

The hardest thing to appreciate on video games, and on film or video when taken from the car itself, is the extraordinary elevation changes involved in running at Laguna Seca. There is a huge climb up from Turn 5 all the way to the top at Turn 8. The corkscrew then drops you a few feet, you build up speed in a short squirt to the turn in at Turn 9, and then the bottom drops out and you hurtle down a huge incline all the way down the hill and through Turn 10 to get back to the bottom. Massive acceleration and control challenge because the inertial momentum makes the apex point on the Turn 9 critical...if you are too early you will risk running out of track on the right.

 

humm tempting..
I could use a test-n-tune day for my newly de-tuned car before the new season starts.

 

Would love to make this, but do not think I will have a car put together by then......... donations are always welcome.... J/K...(kinda)

 

that is too bad. I would love to try to keep with you for half a lap!!!!!!

 

can't believe I moved from the Bay area and never got onto Laguna Seca ... just seeing this post makes me want to take a few days off work to make the trip.

 

What a great day. Perfect weather. Here are a couple of pictures.

Splendid day at one of the great shrines to racing.

 

Great pics Ed !!, They realy show the suspension working...

 

That is the Stance set up that you worked so hard on, Scott!
It was working very nicely.

 

I always love to hear when Stance coilovers are raved about after a track day...March will not get here soon enough (that is when most of the OR track groups start up)...
