Default American LeMans, Laguna Seca Sep 5-7 who wants to go?

I'll be going to Laguna Seca for American LeMans on Sunday, Sep 7. Anyone wants to join?
We can meet up somewhere in South San Jose and cruise down together.

Check out http://www.americanlemans.com/ for more info.

BTW, Whatever, if you decide to go, make sure that you're in front of me.

For those that didn't get the tickets yet, this is a great way to get discounted tickets.

Instead of buying the full price ticket for Sunday Super @ $45 a person. You get two tickets for $40 by entering you car into the car show. You also get a free set of Mechanix gloves for every car entered. Who knows, you might even be able to win!!

We did this last year as well. Though, it would have been nice if I had a car to show last year

Here is the link for more information.

And Link for purchasing tickets.

Like failsaf3 said, I plan on going. Anyone else is welcome to join us. Just make sure you keep your distance while driving!!

Dave,
Can we access the paddock area with those car show tickets? I know that the $45 ticket gain you an access to paddock area.

By all means stop by and say hello while you're there. I'll be driving the #51 Star Shield Armor/LA Auto Show Spec Miata in two of the support races that weekend (one on Sat and one on Sun). I believe we're the final event on Sunday. We had over 50 cars last year, and probably the closest racing of the weekend.

If things go really well between now and then, you may also see me behind the wheel of an E46 BMW Touring Car, but there is a fair amount of funding between me and that ride right now.

I might even have the OTHER Roadster by then...

I believe the car show tickets are the full access tickets . Last year we were allow to go pretty much everywhere. If not, I'm sure we can get Scott Webb to vouch for us right?

With the 2 for $40 tickets, I believe you can go anywhere you want. Well, me and my brother walked all over the place last year. Went to the tents where the race crews did there stuff and all.

Bring some ear plugs!! you will go deaf!! lol

OH NO THE FLASHBACKS!! I still got the pictures too! lol

For those who havent been there, here is a video I made a long time ago. Includes footage of actual race and the parade lap around the race track for those who entered in the show.

I am in my bro's E36 M3, no Z at the time. Just a preorder at the time.

(kind of a big download ~40MB, but oh well...)
