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.

Yeah dude you can do the parade laps you can just show up as far as I know. I'd LOVE to do that,but Monterey is a 3+ hour drive for me. It's not worth it just to take a couple of laps around the track.

I want to do the Short Track Series were an instructor is in the car with me teaching me how to drive the track. That has been booked since mid July! I'm wayyyy toooo late. :troll:

Next year though,next year.

Here's the information on the Porsche Owners Club event:

http://www.porscheclub.com/events/EventCalendar/SE67-Info.html

There's a $10 paddock entrance fee and the $20 donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation for the parade laps on the track.

In past years we all met up at the Albertsons on 129 Bernal Rd. at 9:00 am. We leave by 9:30 am for a 2 hour scenic backroads drive to Laguna Seca.

Here's the route: http://hverheyen.vssi-eda.com/box_pics/laguna_seca/index.htm

It not just about doing a couple parade laps on the track, we're helping out a worthy charity and doing a nice backroads drive.

Come on Gerry and everyone, lets go cruzin.......
