After a lengthy period of discussions and legal challenges, Friends of Laguna Seca announced on April 4th this year the successful clearance of all obstacles in taking over operation of Laguna Seca Recreation Area and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. The non-profit group, formed in 2016 by local business owners, assumed a significant long-term agreement with the county. Passion drove these individuals, including Ross Merrill, Bruce Canepa, and Jonathan Feiber, to become the custodians of the future of Laguna Seca. The move towards all-volunteer non-profit operation was motivated by a desire to preserve Laguna Seca for future generations. The new agreement grants Friends of Laguna Seca the authority to oversee the facility independently and ensure its continued operation as a race track for the next 50 years. The transition marks a significant step towards the facility’s improved management and sustainability.
