are willing to do some special stuff for us. Here was the original <br>
notice:<br>
<br>
FOT-<br>
<br>
We have negotiated a discounted room rate for FOT at the Embassy <br>
Suites Hotel for the 2011 Kastner Cup. The Embassy Suites is the <br>
official hotel of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (http:// <br>
<a href="http://www.mazdaraceway.com" target="_blank">www.mazdaraceway.com</a>) and offers close access to both the track and to <br>
the many attractions of the Monterey Bay area.<br>
<br>
A block of rooms has been reserved for FOT members at the rate of <br>
$155.00/night (plus tax). Rooms are 2-room suites and include daily <br>
complimentary breakfast and Manager's cocktail reception. For <br>
additional information, terms and conditions, and to make a <br>
reservation please visit:<br>

Seaside, California<br>

Phone Number: 831-393-1115<br>
<br>
The Embassy Suites management has shown real excitement at the idea of <br>
hosting our fine group! With a satisfactory number of reservations, <br>
they have offered to set-up exclusive receptions and to provide <br>
dedicated parking lot facilities for us. I encourage you to make your <br>
reservation as early as possible. Monterey, California is a well known <br>
resort area so there are many options for accommodations at various <br>
price levels. A partial listing can be seen at: <a href="http://www.mazdaraceway.com/pages/hotels" target="_blank">http://www.mazdaraceway.com/pages/hotels</a><br>
<br>
For those interested in camping sites/RV hook-ups, these are reserved <br>
through Monterey County Parks (888-588-2267) in campsites located just <br>
outside of the Raceway, however, reservations will not be taken until <br>
late January. We are also trying to get information on overnighting at <br>
the track which is restricted. Please stay tuned for more information <br>
to follow.<br>
