Here is my view from the turn I worked last year. (http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mdPRjie3tFo/SOOGeuwYEsI/AAAAAAAAAcw/CAnw1vJJ4Dk/s720/AMA%20Superbike%20Finale%20049.jpg) it's from the AMA race but you get the idea.

Post by: Cynic on March 07, 2009, 09:32:07 AM I'm in but since my sister in law planned a wedding for that Friday, I'm only going on Sunday :(
Though I hope to bring the whole family :) Last year Laguna was the best race of the whole season (even if we did lose) Lets hope we have a good one again this year! Title: Re: Laguna Seca USGP 2009...Who's Going? ROLL CALL! Post by: jimboecv on March 07, 2009, 12:32:08 PM Might go down the 5th.

I bought Turn 11 grandstand seats for the race. But you might just sit up at the Corkscrew during the race. And make sure you hook up with us. Title: Re: Laguna Seca USGP 2009...Who's Going?

I usually trailer the bike down there, since we camp out of the truck. But if you do ride, be very wary of cops. There will be speed traps all over the county. Title: Re: Laguna Seca USGP 2009...Who's Going? ROLL CALL! Post by: Desmostro on March 08, 2009, 11:08:28 AM I usually trailer the bike down there, since we camp out of the truck. But if you do ride, be very wary of cops. There will be speed traps all over the county. Speed traps guaranteed on the over passes as soon as you get into Monterey County. There are usually cops posted doing radar on the over passes, with a line of moto, or squad cars waiting on the on ramps. Title: Re: Laguna Seca USGP 2009...Who's Going? ROLL CALL! Post by: mattv on March 10, 2009, 03:25:23 PM I'll be there sunday at least, maybe saturday too.

That is a good question. We haven't had much of a meet place per say because MOB-ers seem to find their resources all over the place. It would be nice to have a beer shack to meet at after the race or something. I'm riding down with one other. Title: Re: Laguna Seca USGP 2009...Who's Going? ROLL CALL! Post by: BikerGoddess on May 10, 2009, 05:08:31 PM We'll be staying at our usual RV campground (http://www.carmelrv.com/Carmel_RV/Welcome.html) in Carmel Valley, just 10 minutes from the track. All are welcome to stop by for food and espresso (yes, Miss Silvia (http://www.coffeemakersetc.com/images/silvia.jpg) is coming too).

Title: Re: Laguna Seca USGP 2009...Who's Going? ROLL CALL! Post by: duckwrench13 on June 28, 2009, 08:33:03 PM My place, Friday morning, coffee & bagels @ 6:30, roll out @ 7:00. Taking quiet empty twisties down to the track. Did this last year, and the only cop I saw was in Salinas!
If you've never ridden Skyline in the first few hours of the morning light, you are missing out! There's nothing quite like climbing up the ridge line, punching through the clouds and having nothing but clear blue sky above the endless blanket of white cloud layer below you, then diving back through the white, and into the redwoods. [bow_down] [bow_down] Absolutely amazing!!! So, in a nutshell: Early morning meet up. Fresh coffee & bagels. [coffee] [bacon] Empty roads [moto] and amazing views :o ! Weekend full of GP goodness.
