it's not that bad to rent just the lawn and bbq area, now as far as getting on the track, I'm sure we work something out with one of the usual suspects as far as track days go like speedventures or unlimited laps where they set it all up and we just have to pay the cost to them

maybe more than half the field will finish the race now that they're racing at a track with some actual runoff

yeah, the street is cooler...one step closer to America being more Euro as far as Racing popularity, but now that i think i about it, i dont wnat it to become poular...look at nascar...1/2 the people in the crowd couldnt even tell you a Stock Chevrolet Monte Carlo is FWD!!!

i dont know, i will for sure miss the streets despite the boring 90' turns

laguna will never have the 150,000 spectator count as SJ did either, SJ street was force feeding racing to 1/2 the people there, Only the true race fans will bother, or even know about the next years Laguna race

I will definitely miss it as I now won't have an excuse to get paid to watch the race from my 12th floor window at work...and the free entry to the race.
