passion for wines turned the southern end of

Mazda
Raceway Laguna Seca
Where were you during the epic battle of the
2008 season between Casey Stoner and
Valentino Rossi, with many changes of the
lead and some of the closest racing action in
history? Rossi sealed his victory with a
kiss, parking his bike in the Corkscrew, a
series of turns with a 300 foot elevation
change and kissing the pavement. The new race
date will give extra incentive for American
riders Nicky Hayden and Colin Edwards as they
take on the world's best on the most

Spirit West Coast
July 30 - August 1
Laguna
Seca
The annual Northern/Central California Spirit
West Coast festival takes place at the Laguna
Seca Recreation Area (Monterey) on July 30 -
Aug 1. Most of the artists appearing at the
Del Mar festival also appear in Monterey, but
there are always some who appear just at one
or the other. It's common to find people to
attend both festivals, and fans agree that
the summer Monterey event is a very different
experience from the Del Mar spring event. The
festivals do have many core things in common:
multiple stages, dozens of artists, great
teaching, camping, children's activities and
ministry, all in a resort vacation area
setting. Although each event does have its
own nuances and character, they both share
the common purpose of presenting the Gospel
of Jesus Christ and celebrating faith in Him.
