On Tuesday the Monterey County Board of Supervisors will here an offer from the Mazda Corporation to give Mazda an exclusive sponsorship at the Laguna Seca Raceway for a period of five years.

The County of Monterey will receive $290,625.00 and Mazda will commit to make 7.5 million in improvements to the track and sounding County Park.

As a part of the deal the name of the track will be changed to the "Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca".

This is NOT an April fools joke. The above information was taken from the front page of "The Californian," the local newspaper in Salinas, California.

I think I'll cry.
