Lenard Raceway Laguna Seca (previously known as Laguna Seca Raceway) is a 2.238 mile (3.58 km) road course used for both auto racing and motorcycle racing, originally constructed in 1957 near both Salinas and Monterey, California.
It has eleven turns, including the famous "Corkscrew" at Turns 8 and 8A. A variety of racing, exhibition and entertainment events are held at the raceway, ranging from superkarts to sports car racing to music festivals.
The name Laguna Seca is Spanish for "dry lagoon". The area where the track is was originally a lake. The course was originally built around the lake, which has since dried up entirely. An artificial pond has since been added.
In the past it held ARLA Elite Series races and RROL races.
