Laguna is located inland a bit from Monterey Ca, about 5 to 6 hours north of us here in SoCal. Google up Mazda Raceway-Laguna Seca and read on.
An incredibly exciting event and the only thing that stinks about the event is when it is over. They, the racing gods, continue on to have fun and we return to our dismal mortal lives.
Welcome to Cali

The neighborhood is good, not far from N2's place. I just had the house appraised for $580 with the main bathroom torn out and fireplace in the middle of getting a new face, floors all a mess, and the only other bathroom has paint and plaster chipping & falling & for some reason I can't get the toilet to seal right at the flange (might need to ream out the pipes AGAIN). But just from my demolition phase it's already appreciated $141K over what I bought it for though I paid too much at the peak and the market's been flat since. Fixin' up your house is a great part-time job you can do at home in your spare time. I don't work at it very hard, I just keep plugging away at it a bit at a time. Problem is that I've got to get one bathroom done before they'll re-fi, and if I don't get the refi soon I won't be able to make the payments on the old horrible loan.
Oh, it's that annual Laguna-Seca race! Maybe next year, I'd love to take my daughter while she's still young enough to do things with dad. Perfect distance for the BMW 2-up. Two things I really want to go see: the races at Laguna Seca and Burning Man.
