Laguna Seca American Le Mans and SCCA invite for Z and GT-R Owners.
 

Just checking to see what the interest level is for attending this event for the Z owners in the Los Angeles and closely surrounding areas. I dont know if this invite was sent to the 350Z owners.

I happen to own a 370Z and was sent this invite via email, but i cant see Nissan turning anyone away. If there is interest, there would be nothing cooler that participating in a Z caravan up to Monterey.... I know the fun that can be realized because I have done this on my Suzuki GSX-R 750 a few times going to the annual AMA/MotoGP RedBull Motorcycle Roadrace at Laguna Seca.

The date for this is race is , May 11-12, 2012. A Friday and Saturday. The only problem here is the short notice.... I say this because unless you know someone in Salinas or Monterey and since this is a 2 day event... Lodging for that Friday night is a must find.

Finding lodging while the MotoGP/AMA race is at Laguna Seca **WITHOUT** prior reservations for a large group of people to stay "together"... well lets just use the word "impossible", lol.

But hey, I'm willing to give it a try if we have some interest in attending. There will be a "Special Z and GT-R" parking Corral that ONLY Z's and GT-R's can get into for both days-tickets are $90 for both days with a paddock upgrade-Private hospitality chalet for both days-Private trackside viewing area at turn 2-Complimentary food and beverage-Gift Bags-Behind the scenes paddock tours and autograph sessions and other special events.

Lets see if we have a group that wants to caravan up! :driving:

I would go but too far away. I like that Z's are getting recognition though for events.

^Same, wish it wasn't 7 hours away. I got an invite, looks like a fantastic event though!

Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool too to be getting this invite from Nissan Motorsports directly... especially with the "Z's and GT-R's ONLY" dedicated parking area!

That takes like 90% of my worry about going to that event out of the equation for me, (2009 370Z with NO door dings) and I know that parked with others Z's that they will be careful not to bump it opening thier doors! :tup:

This would be so cool. I have to move west. The North East BLOWS!!!

That would be a fun event to attend. Way to far for me to attend. Have fun.

Is this a driving event as well or just a spectator event? I'm going Memorial Day to drive, but would love to go before too.

Its a spectator only event.. like the title of the OP says, its an American Le Mans and SCCA event. Nissan Motorsports has invited Z and GT-R Owners to attend to watch the ALM's race (those cars are a BLAST to watch too) and to get to meet the drivers, get autographs and SWAG at Laguna Seca is well worth $90 bucks, that track is one of the best in the WORLD, all i have to say is ONE word to prove that... the word is "Corkscrew", lol. Those that are into racing and not just having a nice car like the 370Z know of what I speak! :happydance:

Hi: I'm a New Z owner: NorCal.....Never got the invite. Did they just automatically send you it or did you register on a site? .....Thanks. Leguna Seca is like an hour from me and I've never been. Could be nice way to spend the weekend with my Z.... and the wifey :driving:

I got a couple things installed at the Dealership from the Nismo line, and i think that is what put me on their "radar".. I live in L.A. (So-Cal) and have been to Laguna Seca multiple times.. Man if I lived an hour from that track that would be my home away from home! GREAT track! You owe it to yourself to go at least once, lol. Personally, I like Motorcycle Racing more that Auto Racing, but the ALM Cars are stunning to watch and at Laguna Seca should be a lot of fun. Then around fellow Z and GT-R owners with the dedicated parking area, icing on the cake! :tup:

It's only $90? No way, that is too cheap. I got the email, but I didn't see a price and deleted it.

NM, just looked at the old email, it doe shave a price. I have stuff to do that weekend, though. Oh wait, I just realized it's just an opportunity to go see Le Mans, not a track weekend.

I thought it was track days which would have been ridiculous.

I would go but that's Mother's Day weekend.

Twenty years ago I came out of her vagina and changed the course of her life and mine.

Purple, because aliens can't wear hats.

This is the same kind of gig Nissan put on for us at the Alabama Grand Prix (Indy and Grand-Am), which was excellent. Highly recommended and a great deal.
