Alameda Naval Air StationDream site! Now approved for ONE PCA event of no more than 100 entrants. There may be hope!.Immense expanses of unoccupied concrete with the city of San Francisco and its foggy hills and bridges as a backdrop. Directions:Go to 880.
Laguna Seca PaddockDon't know too much about the surface except I recall it's asphalt, and it's three acres bigger than the last time we used it 15 years ago (J. Kelly)Directions:See the map on the Laguna web siteHere's John Kelly's description (11/8/99):Enter the premises from Highway 68 and wind your way up the VERY steep hill and around over the bridge and then to the paddock entrance. Parking will be at a premium. Some people, will have to pit by the Registration building. Up the hill--called the swale--from the registration building is the trailer parking area.We will be sharing the facility with the Green Flag organization which will be conducting "track days" on the 2.5-mile road course. Snax 5th Avenue will be there with their food coach, opening at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast and operating until about 2:30 p.m. (The McDonald's in the paddock will not be open. Our road racing brethern petitioned the track to have Snax 5th Ave. rather than McDonald's.) We must maintain a "roadway" through our area to enable the Green Flag people to have access to their paddock area. Naturally you can cross the "street." You just can't park on it. Laguna Seca is in a Monterey County park. The Park Rangers are in charge of the park. There is a gate at the entrance after you go up the hill. STOP. Tell the Ranger you are attending the sports car event in the Paddock. You shouldn't have to pay the day usage fee. If you get snotty with them you're on your own. Usually showing your SCCA membership card whistles you right through. The Sound limit is 90dbA at 50 feet. If you bounce the Laguna Seca sound meter, they have the right to cancel your run right then and you can't return. Unlike our previous event there, the course will be lined. But we will be using flour and need to blow it away at day's end. Boris the Spender has been directed to buy two (2) garden blowers so that job should be wrapped up rather quckly at the end of the day. (For anybody that has attended a San Diego Region event at Qualcomm Stadium, they also use flour and blow it away at day's end.) |
