  • At a typical GGLC Open Track Day event drivers will have too much track time, liberal passing rules in the slower group, and unlimited (safe) passing in the faster group. Drivers with less than 6 track days experience will not be allowed in the faster group unless they get pre-approved by a GGLC official.

    There are some simple rules at GGLC Track Days.

  • Contact with anything is grounds for dismissal.
  • Drive within your skill and comfort level.
  • Pass only in designated passing zones.
  • Cars must pass a "Self-Tech". Learn about preparing your car. CAR PREP
  • Have FUN!
  • The GGLC Open Track Days are not a substitute for high speed driving instruction. For those new to track events and/or have limited experience driving at high speeds on track the GGLC suggests you consider gaining knowledge and track experience at any one of the many instructional track events or at a driving/racing school such as:

  • Hooked on Driving (RECOMMENDED)geared for those new to track events. www.hookedondriving.com or;
  • Jim Russell
  • Skip Barber.

    GGLC 2010 Track Day - March 23rd - Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca

    Come join the Golden Gate Lotus Club for this open track event at Laguna Seca Raceway Tuesday, March 23, 2010.

    Registration is open. As always, GGLC members and fellow Lotus owners will get priority.

    You do not need to own a Lotus to attend this event. We run our events totally non-profit and you will not find a better price for a full day on the track.

    You do not need to own a Lotus to attend this event.

    Price is $250 for GGLC members and $270 for non-members. You can purchase a yearly membership for $25.

    This event will be limited to a total of 2 groups of 30 cars. Sessions will be 30 minutes long.

    The groups will be classified as follows:

    INTERMEDIATE GROUP
    You must have at least 5 previous track days experience. Passing without a point-by will be limited to the 3 long straights. Passing in other sections (including turns) is allowed with a point-by from the driver being passed.

    ADVANCED GROUP
    You must have a minimum of 20 track days experience. Passing without a point-by will be allowed everywhere except through the corkscrew.

    Laguna Seca enforces a strict sound limit of 92 db. Elise & Exige owners note that most aftermarket exhaust systems do not meet the 92db level.

    This event will run rain or shine. There will be no money back cancellations. If you need to cancel and we can fill your spot, then we will offer you a rain check for a future event.

    We will not conduct a tech inspection on your car. You are soley responsible for the safety of your car.

    Some experienced drivers will be available to help the inexperienced ones. Although informal instruction will be offered, this is NOT a driving school and it’s up to the individual drivers to request assistance.

    Open top cars must have a roll bar. Factory installed roll bars are OK. Open wheeled cars will be allowed in the open passing group.

    We will close registration at 60 cars. We suggest that you enter early to insure a spot. This event will almost certainly sell-out.

    Questions can be directed to events-at-gglotus.org
