I think it's a fair price. It's parking, admission, paddock pass and grand stand seating(first come first serve)

Moto GP is $50 general admission on race day. Parking another $20(motorcycle parking $25)
Turn 4 seat is an extra $20
Paddock pass is an extra $20
Adds up fairly quick. Lol

So when compared to other races at laguna $30 for auto racing is a bargain. Even the ALMS is $30

I guess what I'm getting at is I don't know if I'd pay $30 to see that series. I know what the other races cost. I usually end up at Seca 3-4 times a year.

For me I'd rather save that money for beer at MotoGP or ALMS.

30 bucks, how the hell do you think they can afford to put on this race.


I tell you what isn't worth the money; Ferrari Racing Days, what a ****ing waste of money. Those guys needs to sell their Ferrari's ASAP and get some shifter carts, learn wtf they are doing. The Scion tc' roadracers shame these guys


What makes you think the Grand Am isn't as good as Alms? Awesome series, maybe you need to do some reading about it or something.

Calm down there, guy... I didn't mean to offend your delicate racing sensibilities. I never even implied that the racing wasn't racing nor that there was no skill involved. I did, however explicitly state that it wasn't for me.

I know all about the Grand Am series. Doesn't float my boat enough to go watch it at Seca. We all have our own opinions, interests and hobbies. Mine just doesn't match up with yours. Perfectly ok.

If it was attached to another series I had more interest in I'd be all over it. Used to watch the Grand Am stuff in Laguna Beach all the time. It was worth it to me because there was something else I had more interest in at the same place.

I watch the Grand Am and I NEVER see the Subaru team on TV. They're always in last or near the back of the pack and they don't get any air time. Pisses me off cause I want to see how they're doing. It'd be cool to go, but I won't be able to make it.

No I understand. So you don't think the grand am is as thrilling as alms? alms is my ultimate favorite, but I'm happy to have Laguna get Grand Am and hope people go support it so it comes back.

woop, hope to see ya out there neway!

PS: Check groupon few days before the race.

I just never really got into it.

You're likely to not see the Subaru on TV for quite a while. The car just isn't competitive.

Either way... if a buddy wants to pay the ticket for me and drag me along I'll go. I mean... they have beer. Haha.
