Sock Hop at Mazda Raceway

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is inviting fans visiting the March 10 community Open House and Champ Car World Series test to bring their poodle skirts and “Bop At The Sock Hop" in the Red Bull Energy Center from 6 – 8 p.m.

The Sock Hop, held at the Red Bull Energy Center located above Turn 1 and overlooking nearly the entire 2.238-mile race course, is open to the public for a $5 donation that will help support the Laguna Seca Raceway Fund and the Salinas Valley Healthcare Systems Foundation. Music at the Sock Hop will be provided by interactive surf band Kelley and the Beachcombers.

The March 10th community Open House marks the return of the Champ Car World Series to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for an open test. Champ Car drivers and series movers-and-shakers will participate in driver autograph sessions and provide you a chance to ask questions during the always popular Champ Car fan forum.

In addition to the Sock Hop, other activities during the day include a Food and Wine Tasting Pavilion, the Silverstone Pub, live music, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca 50th Anniversary Display featuring a “Tribute to 1957" and classic cars, and exhibits featuring activities from around Monterey County.
