What are the requirements to get on the track?

Is this a yearly event? If we can't make it this year do you think it will be up and running next year? If I'm a SVR(Sacramento PCA) member is it possible I can sit in someone's car going around the track?

There are none - these are parade laps.

Show up with a 4-wheel vehicle. Pay $10 entrance fee. Donate $20 to go on the track. And have fun.

Lineup and when the flag drops you go on the track. Here we are in the lineup.

What exactly are parade laps? Are they fast paced?

the very inquisitive mind is asking the same thing

Are they fast pace? How fast can you go?

The Pace/parade laps we were running were not more than 70 mph on the straightaways. Any faster and they may black flag you off the course.

I've done this annual event for the last four years, it's a lot fun and plus the money you donate goes to a worthy charity.

Let's all go on a group drive down to Laguna Seca and do the parade laps!

Just got back from the Monterey Historic Races in Laguna Seca. I can't wait to actually get on the track again.

Lets all meet at the Albertsons, on 129 Bernal Rd. in San Jose it's right next to Starbucks.
