8 miles from the Monterey Downtown Travelodge. It is a paved road racing track used for both auto racing and motorcycle racing. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is an 11-turn, 2.238-mile jewel of a road course on California’s beautiful central coast. While the track is a favorite of racers and fans worldwide, many focus on one specific section—officially Turns 8 and 8A—or more commonly known as The Corkscrew. The Corkscrew is a one-of-a-kind turn in motorsports. Here’s what makes the hard-left, hard-right combination so spectacular: At the apex to Turn 8 (the lefthander and entry to The Corkscrew), the elevation change is a 12 percent drop. By the time a race car reaches the apex of Turn 8A (the righthander), the elevation is at its steepest – an 18 percent drop. The Corkscrew drops 59 feet between the entrance of Turn 8 to the exit of Turn 8A—the equivalent of a 5½ story drop—in only 450 feet of track length. From Turn 8 to Turn 9, the elevation falls 109 feet, or just over 10 stories.

Monterey is remarkable among California's cities for having preserved more than 40 buildings from all periods in its long history. As Spain's northernmost outpost for many years, founded in 1770 by Captain Gaspar de Portola and Father Junipero Serra, Monterey's cornerstones were military and religious. And while little original building remains of the Presidio, it is possible to walk where the Franciscan friars did. Simply visit the Royal Presidio Chapel (also called San Carlos Cathedral, it dates primarily from 1791) and Mission San Carlos Borromeo (its cornerstone laid in 1772), just outside the neighboring town of Carmel. The foundations of the Custom House were put in place, and the families constructed the first buildings of adobe (dried mud) bricks. Cooper-Molera and Alvarado, Larkin and Merritt houses survive from this period. The cattle boom of the 1830s-1840s and the eve of American assumption of sovereignty saw the construction of the Old Whaling Station and the Pacific House
