The Rolex Pre Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca
Most of you know about 'Monterey Car Week'. When I started going as a kid, there was the historic races at Laguna Seca and the Pebble Beach 'Concours D'elegance'...that was it! Now The whole week is full of events for the car nerd. The week kicks off with 'Concours on the Avenue' on Tuesday Morning, but the not so secret hidden jem of Monterey Car Week is the Rolex Pre Reunion races held the weekend before car week.
We have been attending this event for the last few years and we think it's better than any event during car week. If you want to join us next year, just let us know and bring your tent, because we'll be camping out at turn 6.
Below are some of our pluses and minuses when compared to the Reunion the following weekend.
Pluses:
- Roughly 70% of the racecars
- No traffic
- Easy parking right next to the track
- No crowds
- $30 entry fee to the pits, or watch for free from anywhere around the track
- You get to hang out with us (camping while awesome)
Minuses:
- Roughly 70% of the racecars
- The "parking lot car show" isn't that great
