SCRAMP today is the most important economic and charitable organization in Monterey County.

It also stands out from all other organizers of world-class sporting events because of the way and why it operates. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is unlike every other major professional sports facility in the USA, or anywhere else.

Racing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is for people, not for profit.

There are now nearly 2,500 registered volunteers who help make events at Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca successful. They are organized and managed by 200 volunteer Assistant Directors and a paid staff of just over 20 full-time employees, who are guided by a corporate board of 25 volunteer Directors made up of Monterey Peninsula community leaders.

The numbers though are just convenient measures of what racing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is about. Far more important is the way lives have been touched.

Everything at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca happens because men and women from all walks of life work together cooperatively year after year to make each event successful. They have done this, and they continue to do it, in the spirit of a time-honored American tradition. They are people working together to make their community a better place to live and to help their neighbors, as Americans have done since before the days of frontier barn-raisings.

A lot of SCCA volunteers also volunteer for SCRAMP.

A lot of fun things have happened there, here's a pic from my 1st visit (almost said "trip" ) in 1987:
