Got mine a couple months ago, didn't know BRAG was involved. Sleeping in the dirt with my SoCal buddies in the unimproved camping. More $ for beer and souveniers. 220+HP uncorked liter bikes. I can't even imaging the sound. Yeeesss! |

Darn, I wonder if there are any tickets left. I live about 4 hours north, so I could drive down. What's the chances they sold out?? |

Try the Brag line at 8 central in the morning. The had 75 spots total for $150 each for members and 175 each for non-members. Last year they had WSBK tickets for quite a while. This year most of the seats are sold out, so there may have run out. Then again, we are talking BRAG and other that Buell riders few know about the tickets. Also alot of BRAG riders are not within a days ride, so they may still have the tickets. Only one way to find out. xbolt12 |

You guys will love it, the sound of the 4 strokes at full noise is awsome. Last year at the Oz GP a certain small italian was getting air with his front wheel as he poped up from behind the screen at the end of the main straight prior to brake application. The effect of aeordynamics is a funny thing. |

You can buy tics through Laguna Seca's website. General admission are probably still available, it's a huge facility. |

I already had my tickets for months when BRAG announced their hospitality tickets. So I'll be there, just not with BRAG. Craig |

I'll see y'alls there! Sunny and I were hitting "redial" starting 5 minutes before 0800 on the 12th. I have learned not to wait for tickets to a popular event! Craig, you can sell your tix pretty easily I'd bet - also, I know a few folks who have grandstand AND BRAG tix now. They plan to go back and forth between the BRAG paddock and grandstands - and Jerry's Love Shack. |

Called this morning and got our tix. Too cool and on my birthday weekend to boot! I'm stoked!! Blake, bring yer sleeping bag. We and others'll be pitching tents around Jerry's Love Shack. Gotta give thanx to Ebear & Jerry's plan of SCAB & SoCal BRAG riders pitching in throughout the year to cover the camp sites. Ebear, you rock! D&J Sparky |

guys..if you have never been to a moto gp event just go for the noise factor....you will not believe these bikes,plus the competative nature of the racing,Rossi is the man and proved it after leaving the best bike to go to yamaha.....talented is not the word...Bads.nicky is a good guy,but he has gotta perform this year,a couple of years on what is generally thought to be the best bike and now he has to perform,watching him ,no doubt he has the talent,now he has to step up........look out for the ducati's...... sounds the biz |

American Sport Bike donated one of the three SCAB spots this year so we don't have to do as many raffles at SCAB meetings to pay for the sites. But Ebear did all the legwork, he's the man!! I may need to set my tent up on the gravel this year, not sure how much of the grass hill is going to be left after the regrading for more runout on Rainey curve. Darn, I kinda liked my tent spot for the past couple years. Reindog and I are riding up on Thursday from San Diego, hopefully will pick up a few LA riders along the way. Plan is to spend Thursday night in a motel in San Luis Obispo and get to the track early Friday. Al |

Is there anyone from the Bay Area going? I'm looking to put together a ride down there. I am also looking to see if anyone has camping room? I am a new Bueller, and we are few and far between up here! So, I either drive the cage and sleep in there, or I drive the bike, and hope someone up here is driving a cage! |

Just like me! Tickets were first on the priority list, everything else is just details. |

Ortega, That is very kind, thank you. Spark, I always enjoy camping. If there is room, and if the kid don't come through for me, I may try to squeeze in up there. This needs to move to the Storm Fronts, eh? |

By how many seconds to the nearest tenth, will the quickest MotoGP racer beat the Superbike lap record at LS? |

The wife and I got a campsite in addition to EBear and Al and crews big three sites, I dont know how the rules go but we will have either a car or a Jeep Cherokee there and one little tent, so there will be extra room for another tent+ and we got premium camping. Blake, Im sure you'll be covered at the LoveShack but if not we will have room... |

Got my ticks the day they announced but was wonderin is BRAG gonna hav a hospitality tent or will Buell themselves have one? Kind of like what Ducati does for its bike owners at major venues. |

Xbolt12--Good deal. We should all plan a run around the area as well. I still have to work things out. I either have to find a trailer to tow the bike, or someone with a car to bring the tent and sleeping bag. But, we have plenty of time to work things out! I can't wait. My first event! |

blake, moto gp bikes average about 2.5 to 3 secs a lap faster than avg for ama superbike. that said this will be the first time for most of the riders in the circus to ride this track (except for the American riders). so while the super bike record may fall the previous gran prix records may not. laguna is a very technical track and is hard to master. figure colin edwards and nicky hayden with the advantage, but no matter where he's at u cannot count out rossi soin something spectacular. |
