Much of my riding club http://www.theridingclub.org/ is. Not me though, I went to Montreal to see Montoya screw up.

Kiss Rossi's ass for me. Watch them all get their elbows down. Ask Hayden when he is going to get one right...

Bob that is a SWEET deal, I think I snnaped up tickets like day three they were offered ...evan then a majority of the camping pads were ALREADY gone!
Got me a Paddaock pass and get to participate in the massive parade lap on the course. WOOHOO I dont expect we'll be doing any speed over the corkscrew though

If anyone has a chance its Collin or Nicky, dont think Hopkins or Roberts will have a snowballs chance in hell evan though they know the circuit better thatn the majority of the field.

My son and I got three day passes plus paddock. Taking off from work on Friday. Very glad I live in San Jose; must be hell getting lodging down there. I think its sold out isn't it?

Word is they're sold out, so if ya don't have tix, good luck ............... 2 weeks ago my friend started looking for a room.
King city might have some. Yikes! I found him a spot with another guy I know up above the bottom of the corkscrew. If you have a place to stay this year, ya better reserve it for next year when you check out! Have fun! The Cap'n

I heard almost 60K on Sunday and over 150K for the three days. We had a great time, but traffic on Sunday was a real PITA; two hours ot get in and almost 3 to get out. Some dufus locked the gate at the Reservation Road exit! My wife was really pissed she didn't see Brad Pitt. Looking forward to next year's repeat (if there is one), hopefully they'll have thought of ways to better control the traffic by then.

I agree that SCRAMP should know by now how to deal with traffic. I was on a bike so we zipped in and out past HUNDREDS of cars inching allong.
They shoud designate a in and an out road and or CAR/ Bike lanes something to improve that situation.
Tom next yr get yerself on Two wheels!

Just saw this week's "2 Wheel Tuesday" last night on Speed. The MotoGP will be back to Laguna for sure next July! Matter of fact they will start selling tickets in September!! "Nothing succeeds like success!"
