All, would you take your nsx if it rains saturday morning and clears out in the afternoon? It may be the case around SF and San Jose area after watching the weather channel last night, but I'm keeping my fingers X.

Hmm.. From the traffic horror stories, I was planning leaving with my sleeping wife :) at 4:30 am. Are you guys sure that 6:15ish will be fine ? It is said that it sometimes takes an hour to get to Laguna Seca from *Santa Cruz* on race days ?

I don't know if leaving at 4:30am will get you in any sooner, according to the schedule.

9:00 am - 6:00 pm Acura Owners’ car corral parking and registration


I may be wrong but if we get there by 8ish we should be able to get into the corral close to 9am.

Someone correct me if I'm way off..!
 
I was not thinking about that as much as giving myself extra time to *actually reach* the track. Never been to Laguna Seca before so no idea what a conservative time to leave is. I would hate to get up at 4 am unless I really have to.

I'm sure we'll run into a backup as we get close to the track. Maybe someone can call the track and ask what plan they have to control the traffic.
 
Just got off the phone with Laguna Seca, they tell me their gates will open at 7AM and the Corrals will be open at the same time.

The Race cars will be on the track at 8 AM

They didn't make it sound that traffic would be much of an issue arriving via Hwy 68.

Maybe someone that been there before on race day can share their past experience.
 
BTW...Don't forget to charge up your club radio's and bring them with you.
 
Cutting it close.
Reminder:
According to TK here are the rules if your participating on Sat's parade lap:

TK wrote:
"Note: If you do not sign in between 7:00am and 9:45am PDT on Saturday, you will be considered as not wanting to participate. To participate in the parade lap, you MUST be at the 10:10am drivers meeting, no exceptions. Being stuck in traffic getting to the track is not an excuse, plan accordingly."

I live in Monterey county 20 mins away from ALMS, and I'm planning on leaving my house at 8am. Never know what the traffic will be like on Hwy 68. Good Luck!

I'm sure eveyone got this email already.
