Laguna Track Day with Lotus Club 6/13

They are obviously short some cars as I have seen this post a few times. If anyone is interested, here is the info..

__________

The Golden Gate Lotus Club still has openings for their June 13th event at Laguna Seca. If you've never run with us before, I'm certain you won't be disappointed.

The Golden Gate Lotus Club has secured Laguna Seca Raceway for a track day on Thursday, June 13. This event will be similar to our last event at Laguna in March. We will have 2 groups of 25 cars that will be arranged according to the driver's ability and aggressiveness. Group A will be open passing, and Group B will have restricted passing. Drivers will be allowed to go out in both groups if they like, as long as they observe the passing
rules for the group on track at the time. Driver's will less than 5 track days experience, however, will not be allowed in Group A.

We will have instructors available to help new and experienced people become better drivers.. Gas will also be available at the track.

The cost of Laguna Seca in June is much higher than March, and our price will reflect this. Be aware that the GGLC only intends to break-even on these events. The price for this event will be $225 for GGLC members and $250 for non-members. Be aware that to get the member price, you must be a current GGLC member prior to May 2002. Drivers who wish to share a car with another driver will have to pay full-price at this event.

Open wheeled cars will be allowed to run in Group A only. Open top Lotus cars without roll bars will be allowed in Group B only. All other brands of open top cars must have a roll bar installed. Factory or aftermarket roll bars are OK. Targa style tops are also OK.

Be aware that Laguna Seca has a strict sound policy. If your car seems loud, then you will likely have a problem. Certain stock cars with original exhaust will sometimes fail the test. If you are unsure of your car, you should bring a 90 degree bend to attach to your tailpipe that will direct the noise away from the meter.

We expect this event to sell-out at 50 cars. Current GGLC members driving Lotus or other makes of cars will be given first priority for registration. Non-GGLC'ers driving Lotus will be given second priority. Non-GGLC'ers who have attended a GGLC event in the last year will be given third priority. All others will receive last priority. Everyone is encouraged to send in their entries early. The registration list will be finalized by June 7th, and anyone who doesn't make the cut will be notified at that time.

If you would like to attend this or any future GGLC event, you must send a message to gglctrackeventsinfo-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to get on the
mailing list. All notifications regarding our events will be via this
message list. Be aware that this list does not allow the general membership to post messages. Any questions should be directed to trackday@fusiontechnology.com

Please print the registration form and tech sheet from www.gglotus.org and send 'em in with your check. Mailing address is on the registration form.

Would love to go Kevin but will be going to Vegas on Friday morning.

Are you going to the July 15th Ferrari event at Thunderhill?

No, I won't be making Thunderhill. Hopefully, spouse-allowing, I will be down at Buttonwillow July 13-14 with NASA (also BMWCCA and Porsche Club Racing). Jerry Brown wants me to debut as an instructor at that event for novice students. I also had a few E30 M3 owners volunteer to let me drive their cars so I can't wait. I have been driving an old 318i convertible this week while my car is serviced and the difference in weight is stunning. It has been so long since I have driven such a light BMW. An E30 M3 must be insane. It is so easy to drive even the 318i fast in a corner. Where I am used to the mass of the M5 starting to assert itself, even with all my mods, the 318i is still totally composed. I could have tons of fun in this 318i even though it is pretty slow.
