I hear ya guys, but I have and continue to hear mixed messages... all from people who have actually run on the track... maybe it just depends on the day you go? Hell I dunno.... but for this price, I think it's worth it to drive this world famous track at least once!

I have run my Subaru STI uncorked there over 7 times and never got the meatball flag (sound flag) even once. Its about a 75yard section out of turn 5 that you need to be a little light on the foot, but your hitting turn 6 under the bridge and it has quite a dip in it. Going more than 85 through there is a challenge with out bottoming out. It will all work out.

Even if you get flagged you have the opportunity to fix the problem. Up to 3 tries before they kick your loud a$$ off the track.

One of the most famous venues in all of racing. Its worth it!

Without a doubt it's worth it if you've never experienced the track. I've watched so many races over the years there on TV and to finally experience it in person was cherished memorabilia. Now when I watch races there I really appreciate the size of the drivers/riders appendages.

If it was closer and my car had real brakes it I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Go for it! T-Hill too!

I just went there recently for the first time and after seeing in in person twice it is just a whole different track experience. I love any track so far but this facility is just another level. The elevation changes are unreal in person.

At least it's only one section of Laguna, but it is pure BS.
I'm eyeing the Nov 14 day at Thunderhill as well. $125
