No one at laguna seca bothered to update the website, pretty misleading.

Not misleading at all. It's the difference when you rent the track as opposed to the track paying a sanction fee. This is why they don't advertise a lapping event. They rent the track and thus, the track is providing their end of the deal.
It's just like at CoTA and the Creventic event. They rent the track and CoTA provides the services. No need to promote the race, thus it's hard to find info on it. You have to remember, "Pro" sportscar racing in the US is becoming this way. There was a day when an SCCA club event would draw 20K spectators, lucky to get that for a Pro event today. So, it's the job of the sanctioning body to just get the track rented and everything up and running. At that point, the event is a go and if spectators show up, that's a bonus.
