Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula
|
This year marks the 60th anniversary of one of the world's most celebrated road courses - your Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
The beginning is traced back to the Pebble Beach Road Races that began in 1950.
The popularity of the races and the financial impact on the community impressed the military authorities at Ford Ord. They began working with the newly-formed group of civic-minded businessmen who created the not-for-profit Sports Car Racing Association of the Monterey Peninsula (SCRAMP) in an effort to keep sports car racing in Monterey.
In mid-1957, SCRAMP and the Army selected a site at Laguna Seca on Fort Ord for the race track. SCRAMP paid the Army $3,000 for use of the land, and the lease was signed on August 7, 1957. SCRAMP volunteers raised $125,000 and the track was constructed in a mere 60 days.
Now, 60 years later, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca flourishes with major race events. It has emerged from the humblest of beginnings to a world-renowned race track that is owned by the County of Monterey for the benefit of the community and racing world.
