Mazda Corral Plan For Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca

The Miata's At Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca event continues to grow and add new activities. Of course, one of the main attractions of the event is the hot laps on a world famous track. But the event is more than that. Here's some information Rick Weldon just shared with those that are already signed up:

One of our specific goals at this year's event is to make it as inclusive as possible to the broadest group of interests. While the core of the event itself is focused at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, this isn't just another track day for track junkies only. We want to have something there for all Miata enthusiasts.

With the exception of the Banquet (which costs only $45 per person) everything below -- and an event t-shirt and sticker -- are included in your $35 fee. A pretty darn good deal........

Welcome/Meet & Greet BBQ
For those coming to the pre-event check-in (same place as last year -- in the pre-convene area at Embassy Suites -- 6pm to 9pm Friday evening) we'll be holding a huge BBQ at the same time out in the hotel parking lot next to our own roped-off Miata Only parking area. Free to all registered drivers and participants. There will also be a Pin Swap running concurrently inside the hotel near event check-in.

Banquet
Starting to sell out faster as we approach the event. We started with 250 seats available -- check out the list to see who's signed up. It's mid February........the event is in April. Last year we sold out at 180 seats and ended up with a waiting list. It's a fun way to mingle with good food, not to mention a very special guest speaker and the chance to rub elbows with friends and some legendary Miata folk. If you were there last year -- you know. If you weren't.......well......it was a blast.

Event Sponsors/Vendors
Lots of cool stuff going on here. Keep checking back at the website, as we keep adding more:

- Moss Motors is giving away a $500 shopping spree.
- Ohlins/P R Motorsports/Roger Kraus are giving away a super suspension package valued at $4K (OK, we already said that before, but it's awesome enough to repeat), coupled with some huge discounts on the same package from the same folks as well as Good-Win Racing. Further, Ohlins Road & Track USA Technical Manager Joey Petree will be on hand to represent Ohlins and answer any questions you have.

Group Photo
Plan on being in this year's huge group photo at the track. During lunch on Saturday.

Fun Drive
Hosted by the Bay Area Miata Association -- for those of you who want to go for an organized drive of the area. Run by people who do a great job. Starts immediately after the Group Photo. Contact BAMA for details/signup.

Parade Laps
We'll be holding parade laps of the track during lunch hour Sunday. Not one or two laps -- but the entire hour of lapping. Take pictures, take friends for a ride. (Safe speeds will be enforced. Drivers must be registered Participants).

Car Show
Sponsored by Oak Tree Mazda. Still working out the details -- but we do need 3 volunteers to help out with the judging. Please contact me if you're interested.

Special guests
We've added more -- check 'em out. Turns out there are a lot of very interesting folks coming to the event (but you already knew that).

Registration now open


This is Miata-only event and had a huge turnout last year. I expect the turnout to be even bigger this year! Even if you are just visiting or signed up as a participant, there is lots of fun to be had just hanging out with other Miata enthusiasts. There will be some vendors, plus lots of Miata's to check out.
