Rennsport Reunion @ Laguna Seca?, October 22-24 Options

[jgara962]

I've been following a thread on the Early 911S Registry forum that has been talking about this year's Rennsport Reunion taking place at Laguna Seca instead of Florida. Does anyone have any information? That would be great for us if it was!

I don't know any more that what has been published but it started 16 months ago.
SCRAMP will have to change the name after this year.
Laguna Seca is a county park facility and SCRAMP controls operation of the racing facilities at Laguna Seca. SCRAMP is a 501C non profit that donates it proceeds to local organizations.

Statement from Steve Earle of General Racing regarding the future of the Monterey Historics:
In response to the press release issued by SCRAMP on August 16, 2009 regarding the future of the Monterey Historic Automobile Races® at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Steve Earle, President of General Racing, Ltd., has issued the following statement:

General Racing, which has created and produced the Monterey Historic Automobile Races® for 36 years, will no longer be doing so. In the future SCRAMP, the Sports Car Racing Association of Monterey Peninsula, will organize a new event.

On September 5, 2008, I was advised that the economic terms for the agreement between General Racing and SCRAMP were no longer commercially viable for SCRAMP. I’m disappointed that we were not able to come to an agreement that would allow our event to remain in Monterey. General Racing will allow SCRAMP a one-time use of the name Monterey Historic Automobile Races® for the 2010 event.

General Racing will continue the tradition of the Monterey Historics at the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, Calif., June 5-6, 2010.

We are very proud of all that we have accomplished with the Monterey Historic Automobile Races®, and I truly believe that we have brought something special to the community of Monterey as an event of world renown and the generator of substantial revenue for the local economy and the charities to which SCRAMP contributes.

The purpose of General Racing, Ltd., is and always has been to encourage the restoration, preservation and use of historic, sports and racing cars. General Racing events and races are for the enjoyment of participants and enthusiasts alike.
