Post by: sofadriver on January 15, 2012, 08:23:39 PM Have your bike's registration in your pocket so you can park on Ducati island. Even without your bike, your registration will get you some very nice perks on the Island (breakfast, gourmet coffee, prize drawings and, ohhhhh, the Ducati girls [thumbsup] ) and more.
Tour the whole place on Saturday so you know where you want to be on Sunday (good walking shoes are a must). If you want to be at the Corkscrew for Sunday's race you need to get there EARLY with all provisions so you don't have to leave. Don't miss Cannery Row on Saturday night. What a hoot! [thumbsup] Oh, yeah - it will be hot. Title: Re: Who's been to the MotoGP @ Laguna Seca? Post by: 118811 on January 15, 2012, 08:35:05 PM Thanks

Title: Re: Who's been to the MotoGP @ Laguna Seca? Post by: danaid on January 16, 2012, 05:35:50 PM Visit the paddock Firday or Saturday early to see the riders and to get some swag and pics. Race day the riders are mostly in their trailers getting in the zone.
The weekend will fly by and before you know it, it will all be over. :) Title: Re: Who's been to the MotoGP @ Laguna Seca?

Not bad [thumbsup] Title: Re: Who's been to the MotoGP @ Laguna Seca? Post by: desmoquattro on January 18, 2012, 09:16:45 AM last year, 7 of us rented a KOA "Kamper Kabin" in Salinas - $143/night. Not bad [thumbsup] Nice! And if you're inclined to get an RV, I strongly suggest camping here: http://www.carmelrv.com/ (http://www.carmelrv.com/) Alternately, for car camping, this spot is good: http://saddlemountain.tripod.com/saddlemountaincamping/ (http://saddlemountain.tripod.com/saddlemountaincamping/) I like camping off-track, as it gives me some peace & quiet and better facilities. Another tip: be VERY careful of LEOs that weekend. The CHP sets up numerous speed traps, especially around the motorcycle entrances to the track. |
