WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca

The racing in all classes is first rate. The activities have been stepped way up. The track walk Saturday was very special. Camping is a little pricey but you do get hot showers. Definately recommended.

First time experience watching moto racing live was awesome. Being able to sit at different turns provided various perspectives. Walking through the paddock area, taking pics, meeting the racers, and checking out all the motorcycle vendors was an all day event I'll never forget. Can't wait for next year.

This is my second time coming to superbike races, it's always so fun and going for at least 2 days is a must! The skill these motorcyclists have is unbelievable and it's hard to be unaffected by the sheer power of these awesome machines! This is a must go! I plan on going again next year for Saturday and Sunday :)

Very well run event. First time at this track,unreal!!! Great staff, used the parking with shuttle, fast easy, no problem. Picture perfect day,great racing. Went on the sunday xl tees were gone by nine am, i"m sure they will stock more next time. I don"t know if they still have them,but it would have been cool to see sidecar racing as well.Over all the best time ever at a race track!!!!!!!!! THANKS

From picking up the tickets at will call to speaking with the individuals manning the info booths and watching the amazing motorcycle races, it was an fantastic experience. The track is amazing-the Corkscrew unbelievable. We sat "on the Hill" for most of the racing in our chairs mesmerized by the speed and skill of the riders negotiating the track and passing other riders. The vendor area was just as great, anything you needed or wanted was there. Ducati Island had a showing of all the Ducati models to be had and vintage models as well-the Ducati display simply made one druel over the mastery and beauty of a Ducati motorcycle. If you ever have the chance to attend an event at Mazda Raceway-Laguna Seca do not hesitate-GO FOR IT. You won't be disappointed.

First time attending but have been watching it on TV all year. I have to say it is much better in person! Getting to see the cars up close and talk to the drivers was awesome - everyone was very friendly! Am very much looking forward to next year!

The event on Saturday was very exciting,The weather was very nice perfect day to go racing. It was nice to stroll around the paddock and check out the cars before and after they went out on the track.It would be nice if the running order of the G.T. cars were posted on the big board at some point instead of just the prototypes. and finnaly if would be nice to bring back Open Wheel Racing since the IRL will be going back to Turbos next year.

Race were awesome - weather was perfect - would attend again

Races were awesome - weather was perfect - would attend them again

When Laguna Seca said it would host a tuner race, I expected a youth-oriented event featuring tuner cars. Tuner cars should be relatively inexpensive cars, customized by their owners using aftermarket parts. There were only 6 such cars at the race. The rest were Porsche race cars that compete in the GT series. The real tuner cars didn t even race, they just ran lap times. Also the weather was horrible, but you can t blame Laguna Seca for that. If Laguna Seca was trying to create a more youth friendly race weekend, they clearly dropped the ball. In the future I suggest they have more interactive events and entertainment, such as display cars and the like. For inspiration, I strongly advise the producers to rent the videogame Need For Speed Prostreet, as it vividly demonstrates the type of entertainment and race cars that are expected at professional tuner races. I have high hopes for this event and I really want this type of professional racing to catch on. I expect to see more out of Laguna Seca next year.

We hit this event every year, and it never gets old. With the exception of desperate wishes for more jumbo-trons, and perhaps General Admission bleachers at numerous places around the track, it's still awesome to be around so many bike-loving people.

The event was extremely well organized, everyone was very pleasant and of course the Laguna Seca race track can't be beat. We had a great time and can't wait until next year.

It's MotoGP with AMA to fill in the moments. All that's missing is some sidecar action.

Laguna Seca is amazing! I have been going here since I was 12! I love the fact that if you have a Pit Pass you can meet many riders! It makes the experience so much more memorable! In fact, my step father has been going for 38 years, never missed ONE year! It is a lot of walking and you will need sunscreen but it is well worth it! I love how interactive the riders can be towards their fans! The track is amazing! And I believe going there every year to see the MotoGP and AMA and other bike races are what get more people interested in going! It is like each year there are more people! So, expect it to be crowded in the Pits! But it is well worth it!

Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix BEST RACE OF THE SEASON!!

This event allowed a lot of access to the cars. The amount of private cars on display was awesome. Old cars, new cars, modified cars, and race cars....it was like being at five different races and a car show. It would be nice to have more vendors at the next event. The food was okay, but the lines were too long. The shuttle carts made for quick transportation all around the event. The weather was wonderful and the staffing was great.

There are only two grandstands, seating assignments are not really used. Most people just wander around the open track area and find a place to sit or stand to watch the races. There are some great places to watch that way. The only advantage to the grandstands are the jumbotron screens in front of them.

If you are a racing car buff and like seeing some old and up late 70's race cars then any race fan can enjoy this event. The passion these men and women show for their cars and racing cars worth mega bucks side by side on the track is quite the sight. My first time seeing this and being at the track. Would go again. Many displays of some new cars from the manufacturers and huge pits too roam around it and talk to the drivers and owners.

the Rolex Historic Reunion, as always, was great. The people staffing the entrance as well as those working the course and shops make the day enjoyable as well. Watching the historic cars bring 95 years of racing alive.

I went up to this event to support one of the race teams. I didn't know much about the race beforehand, or the venue. If you pick up your tickets from Will-Call, it is off site. I didn't understand why at first, but it is because you need to have your tickets scanned to enter the parking lot. The Will-Call location is not too far from the track, so if you decide to use Will-Call, I would factor in an extra 15-20 minutes. It was really easy to pick up the tickets, and they also suggested a better way to get to the entrance of the raceway, instead of using GPS (which I was told would send me to the wrong location). The track is amazing! There are multiple places to view the race. I was recommended to watch the race from the corkscrew area, which sits atop a large hill. What a great view point! This is where the cars are picking up a lot of speed as they go down a winding hill. It was awesome. You can see almost all of the track as you head up the hill. It was such a neat view. This is definitely an event I would head to again, and recommend to anyone who needs a little speed in his/her life!

General admission allowed you access to almost the entire track. Great viewing vantage points, especially at the "corkscrew". Fun day of great racing!

awesome! lots to see, buy & watch. Those guys are nuts! in a good way

You just cannot get an appreciation for how fast and how loud these bikes are by watching races on TV. You have to be there and see and hear and FEEL the bikes as they roar past you at blinding speeds. You'll gain an appreciation that will last, as you have a base experience to draw upon when you watch races in the future.

Nothing better than seeing the best in the world race around Laguna seca at 170mph!

It ws not orgainsed properly..car parking took a long time

Always awesome watching the best motorcycle riders on the planet racing at an iconic track. Loved it!

Very enjoyable race. ALMS is awesome in that the paddocks are all very open to spectators, prior to the race you can talk to the crews, the drivers, etc. Mazda Raceway (Laguna Seca) is a fantastic track. Lots of places to stand that weren't overcrowded with great, upclose views.

This event is a lot of fun because the vintage race cars are actually driven around an absolutely beautiful track. Not really a serious race; who wants to wreck a one-of-a-kind? The paddock is wide open and the owners are friendly and approachable, very proud of their race cars and make an effort to give you histories of who drove them when and in what events. Some of the early models ran in the Indianapolis 500 in the teens for prize money of a few hundred dollars. However, the will call experience was bad. There was nothing on Ticketmaster that said will call would not be at the racetrack and we ended up driving into Seaside to a hotel to pick up our tickets, which on that busy car weekend in Monterey is a trick. Not great to be turned away at the entrance and told to drive another 20 miles to get the tickets and come back again. The event's worth it though.

It was a great day at the races and will b back asap. Enjoyed races but vending n sponser tents were where it was at. Loved the stunt bikes. Wish there were more seating around the track other than grand stands. best day of vacation

An awesome time!! The bikes were fast and loud. There was lots to see and do in addition to watching the race. Food and beer everywhere. Had general admission seats and sat on the hill. Could see several different turns.Only downside was parking. They dont have people controlling the cars after the race and it stopped up real bad. Sat in line stopped for an hour before we finally started moving.

Pros amazing heroics on the track in all classes. Everyone seems to ride just a bit harder here. beautiful venue, great fans from all over the world. great factory displays. It is even fun getting there cons who's bright idea was it to take out all the drinking fountains? The anouncing was a little off this year, no commentary during downtime for motox2 for example. I wish they would bring moto 2 and moto3 to this track. Especially moto 3 the amount of passing would be incredible.

Seeing the fastest bikes on the planet is always a good time.

I have been to a lot of events, some at Laguna Seca, this was the easiest and most organized event. From the ease of purchasing tickets, to the parking and the friendly vendors. Can't wait for next year.

If you love cars going fast and the great outdoors, the American Le Mans Series is perfect for you. Featuring prototype and GT cars that showcase different technology, ALMS is certainly a motorsports series not to be missed. In this particular case, at Laguna Seca, be prepared to carry a lot of sunscreen and water! Drivers and teams alike are more than happy to interact with fans during their off time, and the energy is absolutely amazing. There are also fan activities (auctions, autograph sessions, sponsor booths, etc.) to partake in. It was general admission seating and that includes paddock access (unlike other series like IndyCar where paddock can be an additional cost) and pretty much free roaming of all areas that spectators can safely access to view the expansive track.

Great experience, wish there were more F1 and FXX cars though. Last year's event had many more cars.

As always, ALMS is the best sports car racing in the US. Great fan interaction with drivers and cars. The prototypes are the most hi-tech cars outside of F1 and the drivers in both categories are top-flight international drivers. Again, only F1 has better. It's always a great experience to watch these guys drive. The GT cars are particularly great in terms of competition. Always a great fight between the Vettes, the Ferraris, the Porsches and the BMWs. What could be better than that? I love endurance races, the longer the better. Six hours of racing really lets the strategy play out in ways you never see in NASCAR or F1. You really get to see it all unfold. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is one of the most challenging tracks in the world. With the Corkscrew and the view from the hills it's really world class. I have a great time every time we go there, which is every year without fail.

The race and the track is awesome. The only problem is that the day we went it was terribly hot and there were very few places with shade; go with an umbrella if you are looking to stay for the whole race (that lasts for 6 hours!)... Also, if you have infants/kids, it's probably not the right place to go because the noise of the cars is just outrageous... obviously it's fun for adults :-). Would definitely recommend going (if you haven't yet and love racing) and I'll definitely go again, but probably when it'll be less hot...

Fast cars, hot weather, and beautiful people with one thing on their mind...racing. If you have a chance, go. Make a day of it with friends and family, you will not regret it. Cheers!

A great event with great cars at a great venue. Hopefully they will return. Running out of posters on first day pretty cheesy though. Same with the shirts.

Outstanding venue and great fun. Great weather and plenty to see with great access to the riders and vendors.

The Laguna Seca Moto GP was the best. The Old school rider was there for weekend show. Nathing more than yamaha team celebrity Colin edwards, KENNY ROBERTS, EDDIE LAWSON,Wayne Rainey and the new generation was there too. BEN SPIES, COLIN EDWARDS. Congratulation for all riders ,team and all the peaple was there for the MOTO GP 2011. THE MOTO GP 2011 WAS WONDERFUL. THANKS FOR EVERBORY TO MADE THIS HAPPENED.

We arrived one hour before the race started and while we were getting to the racetrack We could see letters indicating the will call to collect the tickets. We spent half an hour driving to the will call which was far away from the racetrack and when we get there they told us the will call was closed even though I had asked previously to one of the security people at the entrance door. So we drove back to the racetrack and they let us in but wihout the general admission tickets we had purchased because the only way to contact the will call was through telephone. Very nice..

Awesome atmosphere, great weather and...GREAT RACE from Stoner!!
