Bumping this for people who have went, I'm planning on going to laguna seca in november, So are we allowed to bring a driving guest for $250?
"We strongly encourage you to not bring a non-driving guest."
"No, only one paying guest per paid registration is permitted."
Quite confused, So since I personally get a free track day, may i bring driving guest for free aswell?

When I did COTA this summer one of the guys brought their wife and although she didn’t get to drive, she got to hang out pretty much wherever she wanted. She also got to do a hot lap with one of the pro drivers as a passenger. Not sure of your circumstance, but if your bringing someone that can take video and pics and wants to hang for the day at an awesome event, they might enjoy it. The food and freebies they gave were top notch...almost worth the $250, IMO.

I went to lime rock on 8/23. It was a great experience. I signed up in early July once I got a vin# number for my 2019 e63s. I was initially wait listed and the got notice about 10 days prior.

My class was fairly crowded, but it didn't seem like any lack of driving and the whole event was well coordinated and top notch.

COTA fits that bill, IMO, but haven't driven at the others. Got up to about 150mph on the back straight in GTR, some really cool technical areas (SLC43 was a blast here), and plenty of time to have fun. That said, you will probably enjoy any track that you drive on in the AMG's...the hope is that it isn't too crowded, that will probably lead to more track time. My class was fairly crowded, but it didn't seem like any lack of driving and the whole event was well coordinated and top notch.
