Behind the Zoom: Jonathan Bomarito

This week’s Behind the Zoom blog is from Jonathan Bomarito, who explains what it was like to grow up within earshot of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Here are some of his fond memories – and recommendations on the best locations to watch this weekend’s Continental Tire Grand Prix powered by Mazda. The race this weekend at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, Calif. is a special one for me because Monterey is my home town. I grew up between the race track and the town of Salinas in a small housing community nestled up to the hills of the Fort Ord Army post which surrounded the track. I could hear race cars from my home and school and I could not wait to get home after class because I knew my dad would take me to the track so that we could watch the cars testing!
