All of this assumes that we have sufficient interest from our members. Remember that these will be noise limited -- 92 DB -- days.
In addition, for those wanting more Laguna time, Speed Ventures will also be running on Saturday and Sunday so you can make it a 3 or 4-day Laguna extravaganza.
More info will be forthcoming as soon as certain details are finalized.
In the interim, please tentatively reserve the dates of July 16 and 17 and indicate you intention/interest in attending this event by posting to this thread. Thanks in advance.
I'm hopeful that we can make Laguna happen, but it's not a certainty yet.  |
LCS participants,
When i started LCS two years ago I envisioned that one day we would have the ability to offer an LCS event at laguna. Well today I am happy to announce that with our teams assistance we have committed to our own run group at LS . This is a major financial undertaking requiring everyones cooperation as participants to make this work.
We will have 120 minutes of track time on Thursday limited to 25 cars. I suspect that we should sellout of this time quickly . Initially we thought of having a time trial and race on Thursday but we are deciding what the schedule will be in the next few days once we gauge your interest.
On Friday , we will participate with speedventure in there mixed groups. But if we do this correctly and sign up right when SV opens registration we will occupy the majority of the red and black run groups. We are working with SV now to purchase sufficient time to have a lotus only demo race at the end of the day Friday.
Yes you read right demo race.
As for sound many of you know that LS has a sound limitation of 92 db. The majority of our cars will not make sound with our current set up . LPL is securing sufficient stock exhaust and or super traps to make your car legal. They are going to do this in the most cost efficient manner so you can enjoy LS to the fullest. Nobody wants to lift in turn 5 so that is what we are working on.If you still have your stock exhaust brush off the dust because you are going to need it.
As Tom and I spoke today we commented on how incredible it will be to see 25 lotus cars heading down the front straight away at the start of the race.
More to come as we know. In the mean time block out July 16-17. If you want to experience even more time, SV will be there the 18th-19th as well.
We will open registration on May 10 to a lucky 25.
