The wife and I just returned from the Laguna Seca 2007 race and we both had a blast.
As for crowds, plan ahead, book in advance and everything will run smoothly.
We’ve already rebooked for 2008, and it took maybe and hour.
Now, I have no desire to sling any mud at another person but kneeslider writes like a person who has read about the last two years at Laguna, not attended.
Yes, there were massive crowds last year and the year before and problems stemming from poor planning for it, but this year organization was simply brilliant.
I love motorcycles, wether it’s riding or watching them race, so I’m thrilled to read about a possible seconds U.S. spot on the race schedule.
My grumble with “Indy” is that it isn’t a destination worth visiting. Have any of you ever heard a person say, “Hmm, Miami, Seattle, New York, Gosh, let’s go to Indianapolis on vacation this year.”
Iv’e been, and outside of the raceway, it’s a dirty city with little in the way of any pleasant sight-seeing.
There is no way that aspect of the experience can compete with a place like Monterey.
When not at the races, we sea-kaiaked, shot over to Pebble Beach for lunch one afternoon, golfed in perfect 77 degree weather, ate nearly every meal overlooking the ocean, and spent our evenings meeting other riders down on Cannery Row. A short, clean walk from our hotel near the surf.
In the end, I know if MotoGp makes it to “Indy” I’ll attend but I doubt I’ll return home as happy or relaxed as I would from a week of fun in the sun.
MotoGp at INDY = Bittersweet.

I hear Miguel Duhamel will race Laguna Seca this weekend. even though I don’t consider him 100% Canadian,
HuH??? not 100% Canadian ? Why ? Because he was born and raised in Quebec ?
What is 100% Canadian then ?
Other than that I for one can not wait for this Moto GP race and will ride to it on my non Canadian Electra Glide .

motogp at indy. great i live twenty minutes from the track and have waiting to here this for a long time. i have been to laguna. for motogp in the eightes and some of the car races . i think it is a great track.but it still is not indy. home of the indy 500, the brickyard 400 and the only f-1 race in the usa. and now motogp, 7-7-07 is a lucky day. indy is one the few tracks that can handle a crowd of 300,000 to 500,000 with few problems. they never run out water. you can park inside the track or just across the street. lots of seats and grassy areas. the indianapolis area has lots of hotels for reasonable prices. also one stat mention in paper here is that indy is one days driving distance to almost 75% of the population of the us. come one, come all, lets have a race.
