    Thats what i was thinking. How crowded is Friday? Is it that much more difficult to chat with drivers on Friday?
    My experience is that Thursday is a pretty busy set-up day but pretty laid back as well... Friday is busier with practice sessions but more access to the drivers...

    The good news is as BIG as Rennsport is, it's a bit smaller event then the Historics…
    So a little less congestion on the VERY easily slammed roads around the track and Monterey peninsula...

    Cheers,

    The schedule hasn't been released yet but as it is a four day event, I'm expecting to be on track all four days, although probably only one session per day.
    a heck of a long tow from Minnesota for four sessions on track but.........it's Rennsport.......at Laguna
    It sounds like Wednesday will be the load in day for competitors.

    Thanks for the update. I've been to the last three RR's but for the life of me can't remember how many sessions a day each group was on track as I didn't race in any of the previous RR's.
    It would be nice if the organizers would post the schedule

    I am sure there will be a big group heading down from the bay area probably on Thursday morning early, hit me up and I can keep you informed.

    Agree at Historic races I prefer to spectate the beginning rather than the end of the event.
    Race Cars always have issues and sometimes they can't be quickly repaired but they should all be running on the first day of the event.

    The RR VI schedule has now been posted on the Laguna Seca web site as well as being emailed to all participants.
    A pretty full four days with a number of exhibition laps, tours of the track and even a bit of racing.

    Hey guys, here is my revised route. thoughts? I wasnt going to go through Yosemite, as its usually so busy, but I figure at the end of september, it might actually be a nice drive through there? I'm thinking of heading through salt lake city, check out antelope island, and the salt flats. and then head through highway 50 across nevada.
