Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca will celebrate its 60th anniversary next year with the 44th running of the track’s annual vintage racecar festival, known as the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, highlighting the season’s schedule on the weekend of August 17-20.
Since its construction in 1957 as a replacement for the Pebble Beach Road Races, the track has hosted most of the major American auto and motorcycle racing championships, as well as World Championship motorcycle racing, with much cherished history being written at the undulating 2.238-mile dry lake circuit.
