They said there were 150,000 in attendance this year. Imagine what it will be on the 4th!!!

That was the total for the entire weekend. Sunday's race brought in just under 47,000. Looks like having two U.S. GPs took some of the crowd away.

i am pretty certain that they count a 3 day ticket as 3 headcount.

We're already planning a new and improved camp site for 2009. Apparently the espresso machine and astro turf weren't enough, so we need to up the ante.  Grin

Ever progressing toward perfection  Grin

My list for improvements:
  • An actual RV to park in the RV park.
  • A real sink...perhaps in the actual RV.
  • Propane heaters
  • Leave the bike at home and take the shuttle so I don't get another ticket.

Nope.
What's the reasoning behind putting the race on a national holiday?  It doesn't make sense to me.

Probably got moved back by adding Hungary to the list. And it's not like SCRAMP wants big attendance.

I'll be there for sure. I got robbed of a year of GP and a 4th of July while I was in Afghanistan, so I'll be making up for it!

I can't wait for MotoGP next year, especially since I had to miss it this year due to the ol' birthday.  My best friend from college lives in Carmel - methinks I will try and convince her to host a DMF BBQ in her backyard on one of the nights... Grin

I am a 50/50 right now. Not sure if I want to be up there on the 4th... Camping sounds like fun though =)
