I have not look up yet , If weather will be nice and warm enough , camp by the track sound fun.
See, I was thinking about finding a motel. I already do one racing-related camping trip a year ;D
Let me look some things up.
Danny,
We can get rooms in Salt Lake from around $85 per night. That's cheap, and we'll be far more comfortable. It's about a 35 mile ride to the track. You up for that?
Let do it , I am in [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [moto] [moto] , can not wait to see new track and WSBK action event since last time I was in Laguna Seca of 2003.
Cool. Give me a call so we can plan. I have a few ideas.
Booked! 3-day pass, with paddock access, seats in turn 1 grandstand...row 1!
Oh yeah the weekend package pass is booked as same as yours .
Suuuuper jealous of you guys!! Have a blast for all of us who cant make it!

That's where I was last year, good seats. Be aware though that row one is the top back row... I liked it since they are the only one you can lean back in, but if you're expecting to be in the front...
I really want to go out this year too.. but can't find tickets for just one day on sale online, and can't afford to be away for 4 days.

Ditto. I'll badger Danny to get photos to a proper site tomorrow. And there are some videos of us riding the canyons of the Wasatch Mountains too.
This is going to be the most articulate post Danny's ever made...
