After four successful editions, this year's "Rainey's Ride To The Races" event brings exciting news for motorcycling enthusiasts.

For the first time since the launch of this initiative, Wayne Rainey himself, three-time 500cc world champion, will actively participate in the track laps, offering participants a truly unique experience.

The renowned American rider, who achieved memorable victories at Laguna Seca during the 80s and 90s, will be at the helm of a specially adapted Yamaha XSR900 GP, displaying his emblematic red, white, and yellow colors. Although Rainey will not participate in the road journey preceding the arrival at the circuit, his presence on the track laps represents a historic milestone for the event.

"Bringing together motorcycling legends and providing special moments for fans has always been the goal of our event," Rainey stated in an official announcement. "This year's edition elevates this experience to a new level."

Scheduled for July 11th, coinciding with the opening of the fifth round of the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, the gathering features confirmed participation from illustrious figures of North American motorcycling, including Kenny Roberts, Eddie Lawson, Bubba Shobert, Freddie Spencer, Kenny Roberts Jr., Rick Johnson, and Doug Chandler.

The opportunity is limited to just 50 participants, through the purchase of the Premium ticket priced at 700 dollars. In addition to the track laps in the company of these legends, the program includes an exclusive Q&A session, followed by lunch with the riders.
