Green Flag Driving/ Track Masters Events at Laguna Seca Raceway

Team Radical West Racing showed up in force last weekend at beautiful Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California.  On a sunny and brisk spring day in early June, members of Team Radical West, including John Morris, Ken Melgoza, Marc Futterman, Glenn Scott, Tim Day, Arnaud Weber, Elliott Brainard, and Bob Majorino attended the Green Flag Driving event.   Most of the team members also stayed for Monday’s event, sponsored by Track Masters.   

With 8 Radicals on the track this weekend, this was one of the biggest event of the season so far for Team Radical West,” reported CEO John Morris.   “Lots of time and preparation was involved in arranging for the transport of the cars up to Monterey by our crew.  We are looking forward to seeing more Radicals than ever before driving on the race track during the next season.”  He continued, “Our team members especially enjoyed taking the winners of the Charity Auction from Gregg Scott and Laurie Hara’s group for thrilling Radical Rides to help raise money for their local schools.”

The Radicals performed flawlessly on the race track and impressed the crowd of racers, car owners, and racing fans at Laguna Seca.   Test drives and rides were given to several prospective Radical owners.  Kirk Clymer, who brought his Lotus to the event, took a ride in an SR3 with John Morris and was instantly sold on the performance and handling of the Radical.   The next week, he came in to the showroom and purchased an SR4 to drive at track events and races throughout the region with the rest of the team.

Members of Team Radical West Racing, being friendly competitors, decided to hold an “Unofficial Radical Race” between some of the Radical owners during one of the sessions at Monday’s Track Masters event.  The stakes were high with a $50.00 bill promised to the winner.  John Morris dictated the ground rules, including strict passing and safety guidelines between the Radical racers.  Competition was fierce, and with “most” of the rules followed, the winner of the $50.00 purse was Marc Futterman, with Glenn Scott in 2nd place and Elliott Brainard in 3rd place. 

As members of the team watched and cheered him on, Radical West Racing Crew member David Thompson enjoyed his first track driving experience in his new Motorcycle on the Laguna Seca race track. 

We would like to thank Green Flag Driving and Track Masters for sponsoring these exciting events.
