Two weeks after the hotly contested street race in Long Beach the full complement of TUDOR United classes took to the track at the fabled Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Having its first race in 1957, what was then known as Laguna Seca Raceway, and actually part of the Fort Ord military reservation, has always been a favorite of fans and drivers alike.  With its 11-turns (most moderate to high speed) and elevation changes the 2.238-mile circuit has hosted events including Can-Am, Trans-Am, Formula 5000, IMSA GT, Champ Car, American Le Mans Series (ALMS), and the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.
