Hey gang. FYI-I have gone to Laguna every year for the past 5 years. Just a suggestion, the parking pass is a must. If you don't get Bike Prefered Parking you'll be out in the woods walking awhile just to get to the track area. The Big Dog pass w/paddock pass is the best deal over all. If I'm correct I believe they are $80 /person this year for 3 days. I thing this doesn't include the Paddock Pass. I always walk up the small hill at turn 1 & 2. It provides an excellent view of the front half of the track. Also you get a good view of the riders coming out of back section to the start line. You do miss the cork screw and the start finish line due to hills blocking your view. It does give you the best view of a majority of the track. (My opinion only!!&#33

Last year the Track Pass ride took 4 sessions to complete due to the amount of people going on it. I stay in Sea Side at the Howards Johnson which is only 10 minutes from the track. A must is the evening festivities on Friday/Saturday evenings after racing on the Warf by Buba Gumps Restaurant. Last year there were so many bikes lining the street it overlapped up side streets. What a sight. I am going again this year. I hope to see all the Hayabusa.Org fanatics there.

Hey Phatroy, I don't know if you read all of this, but we plan to hook up for a couple of rides and photo ops of the largest group of Busas photographed. We are up to 28 or so. Do you want in?

...Not trying to tie anyone down, but we have a list of where everyone is staying. A few of our members are from the area and planning a couple of rides and what not. If you would like, I will include you and keep you informed on the plans.

I'm thinking about going with the Cheap Dog package, Sat and Sun General admission, motorcycle parking both days.

Like Swan says, we can walk around the track during the race.  I don't want to be tied to one place.  I don't really need to see the Fri practice, and people who won't be there all week may want to ride that day.

A suggestion:  If we are going to get together after the races Sat and Sun we should meet somewhere outside the event at a certain time.  My 2c.

Here is what I suggest for a loosely planned get together.

1. Monday thru Thursday - Some people will be there and Lo is planning some rides.

2. Thursday - According to the Spreadsheet, most people will be there by Thursday, so late afternoon or evening, we should meet up for some type of get together to meet everyone. (picnic, dinner, etc)

3. Friday (pracice day at track) - Some type of major group ride. The locals can work on this one.

4. Parade Lap- try to get as many of us together for this as possible. does it take place Saturday?

5. Saturday- Everyone do your own thing in small groups. Late afternoon or eventing...try to all meet up at Canary Row forming long line of Busas, and everyone can go from there.

6. Sunday- Many people are leaving so nothing planned.

I don't know if this makes sense...just what I was thinking. Any ideas?

Thinker62 - I would love to be part of the group. I will most likely arrive Thursday after noon. I am staying at the Sea Side Howard Johnsons. Let me know the details and I'll be there. I believe the lap of the track is on Saturday? Definatelty be on Cannary Row Friday/Saturday nights. Look forward to meeting everyone. (Busa Up&#33
