I was the only one from the CCMC club to attend the Grand Am races at Laguna Seca (Monterey, CA) but I had a great weekend.
There was a Mini Cooper Corral for us to park near the track. There were 40 Minis in the corral on Saturday. Mini USA shipped out the new GP to be on display before it had even been released at the auto shows. There were five different races to watch over the weekend plus a car show. With all the different types of cars it was great to see them up close in the pits and pre-race grid. Laguna Seca is a great place to watch races because you can walk around the whole track to observe from many different locations.
Here is a link to photos I took at Laguna Seca in September. I know it is now December but it took me a while to sort through the photos and get a limited amount (121) loaded.

The photo titles include the class that the car racing in (DP, GT, GS, ST, TP, SM) and the car number. DP = Daytona Prototype, GT = Grand Touring, GS = Grand Sport, ST = Street Touring, TP = Total Performance Showcase, and SM = Start Mazda. Most of the titles also state the type of car. Such as ST195_Mini Cooper which is ST class car number 195 that is a Mini Cooper. Most photos have a short description or at least the finishing place of the car.

Great. I will keep an eye out for you.

Great I hope we get a BIG turnout! Make sure you go the the ticketmaster website and purchase the corral package!
For some reason when the link copies it does not work. It keeps editing the link.

Ordered my Mini Corral ticket yesterday and I am looking forward to the event.
So far no one else from my club has responded to me that they are going. Hopefully I can drum up a little more interest from my club members. -
