SOUND RESTRICTIONS: Because this a County-owned track located in a protected area; sound restrictions are strongly enforced! THIS EVENT IS A MAX 90 dB; MUFFLERS, MUFFLERS, PLEASE! The County assigns two sound monitors, located at the hill between Turns 5 and 6, with microphones on drivers’ right. They give teams two (2) chances to correct any sound issues during the entire 2-day event (not per day) and then they put the car on the trailer (no refunds). And there is nothing the Lucky Dog staff will be able to do about it  Please ensure your exhaust systems are whisper-quiet prior to arriving at the track.

EVENT SCHEDULE

Tuesday, August 27th: WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca – Main Entrance (Hwy 68) NO EARLY BIRDS; NO STAGING IN THE LAKEBED PARKING LOT area any more. Teams should plan on arriving at the track at approximately 6:00pm – NO EARLIER or you’ll get us in trouble with the track & we won’t be invited back. Once Tuesday’s track renter has vacated the property & the track management has officially turned over the paddock to us, around 6:00pm, we may then proceed with move-in to the paddock, garages & cold pit lane (NO cars on hot pit lane). DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY AS THERE IS NO WHERE FOR YOU TO STAGE WITHIN THE FACILITY & TRACK ROADS CANNOT BE BLOCKED; they’ll turn you around at the gate. Keep in mind that pit lanes will be assigned, as well as garages, so there is no huge rush to get into the facility early. AND NOTE THAT LUCKY DOG STAFF WILL NOT BE ON PROPERTY until late in the afternoon; please stay out of the doghouse with the track in our absence  USE THE TEXT NOTIFCATION SYSTEM ABOVE TO RECEIVE MOVE-IN UPDATES! 6:00pm Gates Open to Paddock Area/Move-In We are unable to access the paddock for move-in & marking pit lanes until 6:00pm. Please give Lucky Dog Staff an opportunity to get situated and set-up for Tech & Safety Inspection and Registration. When the track and garages are turned over to Lucky Dog, our staff will provide maps for pit lane and garage assignments…do NOT just stake out a garage or pit lane on your own. It’s our intent to place garage rental teams in their adjacent pit lane spots and paddock area. Pit Lane/Paddock Spots PIT STALLS WILL BE ASSIGNED AND WILL POSSIBLY BE SHARED, depending upon the final size of the field. Requests to share a pit lane or be near a team must be sent to [email protected] no later than August 16, 2019. Please be considerate of a team’s pit lane stall & paddock spot that might be adjacent to their rented garage. And keep in mind we may not be able to accommodate everyone’s request to be near a specific team as space is limited at the garage end of pit lane. Teams will receive an assigned pit lane map via email no later than Monday, August 26th to support teams that are doing Tuesday’s track day. 6:30pm – 8:30pm TECHNICAL SAFETY INSPECTION & REGISTRATION/GARAGES* * If you are unable to make Tech & Registration on Tuesday night, please contact us ASAP at [email protected] to make other arrangements. We have an early Wednesday schedule that makes for a hectic morning getting teams on track. Arrive late and we may not be able to process Tech & Reg until after green flag.

NEW POLICY: Due to insurance/liability requirements (plus some recent wristband fraud ), LDRL will now be personally placing all wristbands on drivers during Registration. Team driver bands will no longer be issued to the team captain; drivers must present themselves with ID to receive their wristband at Registration before getting on-track (any time during the weekend at Race Central).

7:30pm – 8:30pm Novice School – FREE, all are welcome; new (required) & rusty drivers. We have fun and you might just learn a thing or two about the nuances of how to successfully drive this track.

Pit lane will close 15 minutes before Wednesday & Thursday’s “black-flag all” track worker break. If you're already in the pits/paddock, or need to pit after that point, you will start 15 minutes after the green flag restart after the break. During this worker break while lined up on pit lane, you cannot work on your car or fuel until you have resumed racing and have taken at least green flag lap, and then returned to your pit/paddock stall.
