The lucrative contract for the management of the county-owned Laguna Seca racetrack is the subject of a lawsuit filed on Dec. 14 in Monterey County Superior Court by a businessman whose bid was rejected.Â
The lawsuit from motor racing veteran Chris Pook says that the county of Monterey conducted a rushed and âshamâ selection process that âripped to shreds the principles of a fair process and promoted the concepts of favoritism, fraud and corruption.â Pook is demanding a yet unspecified amount in damages.Â
Reached for comment by email, Assistant County Administrative Officer Dewayne Woods, who oversees Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca and managed the selection process on behalf of the Board of Supervisors, rejected Pookâs allegations. âThe county believes the process was fair and appropriate,â Woods says.Â
