Laguna Seca Moto GP Pix
Went to the MotoGP on Sunday!
 Here are the highlights and pics:- Got to meet and hang out with Wavex. Super cool and fun guy. - Great weather - Great, fast racing - Met Ben Bostrom Here are some pics: Bike Parking. Tons of bikes in several parking lots.... ON SITE! We were rocking the minivan so had to take a shuttle 10 miles.   The start of the 125cc race. These guys are fast!  Remember some of these racers are kids! Like 13 years old!  Nice bike on display inside the Yamaha tent. This is where Wavex's bike would have been.  Me with my best friend Ben.

Re: Laguna Seca Moto GP Pix
Moto GP race, turn 4
 Moto GP post-race burnout  The scary downhill corkscrew. Looks even more intimidating in person.  AMA Superbike race, turn 2   AMA Superbike race, turn 3  I got some good pics but not as many as at Sears Point. I know Wavex got some good pics; he got into the paddock.  Overall it was a glorious time. What's not to love about good company, good food, and seeing Rossi and Stoner race?

Re: Laguna Seca Moto GP Pix
And a good battle between Rossi and Stoner bringing back some of the excitement to the sport.

Thanks for the pics, I was watching the Rossi/Stoner battle on TV and freaking out, must have been even crazier live.

Re: Laguna Seca Moto GP Pix
You know, Laguna Seca is a great track. It is world famous and I hope to do a track day there soon. The thing is that it's not the most spectator friendly place. It is flat and spread out and hard to see more than one or two turns no matter where you are. Take this for instance: Wavex and his stepdad were sitting between turns 1 and 2 and I was with some other friends between turns 4 and 5 for the MotoGP race. I took a picture of where Wavex was to give an idea of how big this place is:
 There is a lot more of the track to the right of this picture that you can't see from where I was. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing like being there to see just how fast these guys go and to hear and smell the sounds and smells of racing but I didn't get to see a whole lot of the actual action racing-wise. I love Laguna Seca and always have a blasty blast when I go but you probably had a much better vantage point watching it on TV. I wish I had remembered to TiVo it

Re: Laguna Seca Moto GP Pix
Here are some of my pics...
Highlights 1) Met Kevin Schwans (sp?) 2) Met owner of Ducati 3) Got access INSIDE the Red Bull Rookies Paddock tent and touched the bikes! 4) the race was epic CHEMIKER: I must have been no more than 100ft from you! I was under the only red tent on hill 1! WAVEX: I probably walked right in front of you at some point! Last edited by MarinaFazer; 07-22-2008 at 10:09 AM.. Reason: added hill photo |
