Wow...am I excited!!!

I just got confirmation that my 914/6 GT got accepted to Rennsport at Laguna Seca in October.

Sorry....I just had to tell someone!! :D

Now you guys going will have a place to come sit, get out of the sun and have something to drink.

Thanks guys...I was holding my breath. I guess I have to fix the CV joints now.

I'll post a schedule as soon as one comes out. I think the vintage cars run on Thur, Fri, and Sat. and the GT, Cup Cars and Club Race cars practice on those days and run on Sun.

Here is the latest update: http://www.mazdaraceway.com/press-release/porsche-rennsport-reunion-iv-attracts-famous-men-and-machines

Thanks again, I'm totally jazzed to get invited to this. I don't think it will be back out here on the West Coast for 8-10 years.

John,

That is awesome. Susie just setup our trip to Rennsport at Laguna Seca last night. It will even be better now knowing someone racing in the event.

See you there....

I was talking with Steve McKay last night about Rennsport. It may not be known, but the next time Rennsport will be on the west coast should be 8-10 years, FYI.
