Sunday night, A1GP organizers at Laguna Seca inspected the Mazda Raceway, and found that the past rainstorms in the area caused something that quizzically appeared to their eye, so A1GP had cancelled the event.

Venue track marshalls said Monday "WHOA! Hold yer horses!" and assured A1GP officials that the track will be specially prepared for the first-ever United States A1 Grand Prix.
