OK....So we've had "hot"...."Really Hot" ......and "FLAMING HOT" times here at MotoGP....Again , nothing remains the same here in California! FOGSECA was the atmosphere for '08. Some morning practices were called 'cause it was a bit damp here till later than usual...like till 11:00am on Sunday!!

As usual , we didn't let it stop the festivities and in fact I never remember walking THAT far and that often here ever! Thanks to the energetic American Sport Bike Al , my calves still hurt from walking up the Monster Mountain sooo many times and visiting with the Buellers down at the Buell Truck often. This year the track had a huge tent full of MotoGP stuff and the prize possesion was the really cool wine tool availiable....does anyone have a picture of this prize?, if so...post it up! We had a RECORD number of Buell Employees come up to the Love Shack , since they worked alternate shifts this time. It was really cool having you folks visit us and we hope you guys and gals make it a "must do" everytime your here!!(September AMA finals coming Up!!)
We were expecting a couple of Jeremy McWilliams Mate's to visit , but they must have got waylaid at the track , cause with the Buell Banners and the 30 foot tall new Flagpole Jerry put up it was impossible to miss us from anywhere on the track! So , with no more verbage , heres some memories...





Pretty much as soon as we were setup , out come the killer 4-wheelers.....with JJ and Pineapple terrorizing the walk-bys.....






Jerry and his toys..!!!!





Boys on their Toys..!!





Lotsa' Noise..!!






Jen on the Veranda....







Girls and Boys...(Paul Simonson,a Laguna newbee!)





Sweeping the curb....(shot from the Veranda)

EBear,
Since you are stationed at the corkscrew, did you get a pix of Rossi kissing it after his win???

Wish I could have been there again this year. Last year was GREAT, even with all of the walking!

Great Pics EBear!!

Yeah, either it is hotter than blazes or near freezing. Remember two years ago when the buses sunk down in the ashalt it was so hot?

Either way, I am still on for September! I can't wait - long over due.

Hey, did anybody record the Laguna MotoGP from TV this year?
If so, I could furnish a blank video cassette or DVD-R if they'd like to make me a copy.

PM for replies. Thanks,
Sparky
