Laguna Seca GP pros

Deazy · 04-24-2009, 11:08 PM

Thanks guys, all good info, I was really wondering about that corkscrew thing, I mean come it's probably one of the main attractions of the track, why would they not place some grandstand seating there? lol, and thanks Gixx, I kind of had a hunch about getting those autographs/pictures.

If that's the case though being pretty impossible to get up close with stars, is the paddock pass even worth the extra money? I'm actually saving a good chunk of cash because I won't need a hotel, I'm orginally from Salinas and my Mom still lives there, so I'm kind of killing two birds with one stone, visiting the Mom and getting to see the race.

Sup Archren!!!

Joint the Honda Riders Club and get tickets for their hospitality tent. Food & Drink in the middle of all the vendors and some of the best bleacher seats available on the track. Or at least the seats were good last year.

Ditto to everyone else: MAKE SURE AND BUY PADDOCK PASSES

Because it's really hilly and they'd have to level the entire hill to get a decent sized grandstand in there.

I was at Laguna Seca this weekend so I took some pictures for you...

This is what the hill looks like from below...you can walk up a paved path on either side or just go straight up the middle...

View from the top looking over the track...

Looking towards the Corkscrew...

Looking towards the entrance to Rainey Curve...

I thought about that after the fact.

I did not know we were going until Thursday and we left Friday.

My husband and I got free tickets through my husband's coworker...someone he knows works for Piloti...anyway...what a great weekend. I did not know what to expect but it was a lot of fun...especially watching the Miata off road down the corkscrew!

I wish the Corvettes did not suck so bad though!

I just saw some practice only 4 wrecks in 30 minutes people were flying off the track.

Oh man was the weather great out in Salinas, that place was packed!!! Over 300 photos to sort through, and damn Rossi almost had Pedrosa at the end there.

This will be my picture to be autographed if I ever get the chance
