I'm heading up there, won free tickets and a hotel room through Galfer. Riding from the Inland Empire up to Leguna Seca, should be a good time.

Not for the love of spanish eyes would I miss a GP this close to home.
I'll be draggen my ass into work on Monday and hide in the rafters, but the GP gets first place in this household.
I will be horse rooting on #35 and 04 I got camping for the first time for the SBK round and Three of my old town buds that frequented the dry lakebed races in the eighties will all be back for some drunken laughs. This time it will be shared with our stoner sons.
I wish this weekend was the full race party but commitments forced a Sunday service only.

I'm working for the USARM again this year.
Last year I worked turn 9, Rainey Curve, I'm hoping to moving up to a Flagging station this time. So, camping in the workers camp for 3 days and working the track all day!
Packing now, leaving in the morning:D

Just got my tent set up at the Frog pond. Nicky Hayden stopped by to say hi to the Crew bout an hour ago!
He admitted he does not have the Ducati where he needs it(no shit, right! Ask Vale 'bout that)
Serious respect to Dani and those who ride broken. This is real sportsmanship.
I don't know what corner Im in, will post up tomorrow!

Another amazing race, working for the USARM/MotoGP family at Laguna.
I saw 2 SD's out there but dunno who. Aphex, Dribble?

Got my wish this year; stepped up to a Turn 6.2 flagging station!
Lots of action on 6, AMA oger, Marquez and a few others down right in front of my station.
Really cool to see so much action but not so good to see Oger get badly injured, laid out, not moving.
Marquez lowsided past the candy stripes and was up an at 'em before we could clear him.
Problem was he covered the bar controls and pushed his bike PERPENDICULAR to the track, pulling 4 handlers with him... and the handlers went with him, ACROSS A HOT TRACK to push start him. Marq gets going ,pulls slightly counter course and continues on ( this is qualifying BTW).
More to follow, gotta go, will post Team KTM superbike pics later
