The "Majors Festival" has been dropped leaving the Laguna race a regular Double Race weekend. It wasn't a full Majors so it didn't count towards conference championships or Runoffs qualifying starts and was generating confusion. "RQ" in the below indicates it's a NORPAC Runoffs Qualifying race (which is *all* races including the Majors at Thunderhill).

September 12-14 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca Double Regional RQ
October 6-12 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca SCCA National Runoffs (run by Topeka)
Oct. 25-26 Thunderhill Event type TBD
*Thunderhill Rewards Regional Championship Series
If you are out of town and want to come test for the Runoffs, the June event has a dedicated test day prior (with loud time which is incredibly rare) and is always a great weekend. Definitely plan on that one and if you want something closer to the national championship, the September event has usually some of the best weather all year long.
If you aren't interested in the Runoffs hype (Oct 6-12 at Laguna) then you can run the Thunderhill Rewards series. In the last numbers that I saw, the series winner for Spec Miata will get around $3,000! That distribution isn't final but we're not talking about $50 - this is something you will definitely want to run.
