Plans for Laguna

Fig · 06-06-2003, 12:06 AM

I have our hotel for the Superbike Races. Any plans by anyone this year? How about another get together this year like last year at Cannery Row.

Is Dan going to have another open house??

Dates for us calender'ly challenged? Do they have camping/rv slots/hookups? Are you going to offer rides on your bike to strangers again?

I was hoping to go, but I have new house issues in my face, and when and how they are going to be resolved is anybodys guess. *

RacerCutie · 06-06-2003, 1:06 PM

We're definately going!
We should meet up again (this time we'll stay longer as we had to ride home).

mmeacham · 06-06-2003, 1:27 PM

I am defiantly going. Would be into camping, I have a tent trailer that sleeps 4. Or I am in Santa Cruz with a 4 bedroom house. 45 min to Laguna. Let me know.

Mike,
Thanks for bringing that out in the open.. At least I was on his bike so it wouldn't have been a total loss.

As far as camping hookups, I don't think they do. They have camping spots, and as far as I can tell it's first come first served, and pretty unorganized. I got a hotel that's about 8 miles from the track (as opposed to 50 last year) and about 3 from Cannery Row. I used a service to find a room - ResortToMe 800-757-5646. Our room is about $180/night, but hell, it will be worth it.

They have premium camping with pads and hookups BUT you need to jump on that stuff early and it's NOT cheap (hotel would be competitive).

Our crew has standing reservations at the Embasy Suites.. so just look for few bikes parked outside.. that's our crew.

Let's figure out a place to meet down there? *I now of a Honda gathering on Cannery Row Friday night.. perhaps we can hang there. *For those interested, I can ping the ogranizer and see if we can reserver more tables.

EDIT:
Adding the camping info:
Seca Camping Info - Main Page

I'm flying out there on Wednesday (7/9) and will be there for the duration. *Woo hoo! *

Joel · 06-06-2003, 4:54 PM

I'll be there at least on Saturday. We've got a motel room in Gilroy. I'd like to see the scene at Canery row this year.

It's hillarious-nutty.

I'll be adding more pics from last year here:
WSB 2002 Round 9 - Monterey, CA, USA

G-Force Junkie · 06-06-2003, 9:52 PM

I'll check into it. If its reasonable, and available, I am thinking about taking my trailer up there for the weekend, and haul the 929. I'll see whe I can find out monday.

Mike

Holeshot · 06-06-2003, 11:57 PM

Trailer to Seca!?!?!??! Why? There are some pretty decent roads between SoCan and Monterey, no?

The only thing I'd trailer to Seca would be a Hardley.. but then, that's me.

Either way.. trailer, plane, Chinese Junk... the circus around the track is pretty entertaining.

G-Force Junkie · 06-07-2003, 2:00 AM

Caus I'm not paying $180 a night for a hotel! *I wont pay that in Vegas, let along BFE Nor Cal!

Well, I guess I can understand that. Not much of anything worth that much money in Nor Cal huh?

G-Force Junkie · 06-07-2003, 2:24 AM

Ya, It seems pretty excessive. Superslabing it for 5 or so hours then paying $180 a night doesnt seem like much fun. Now cruising up the coast at my leisure, with the 929 poised and ready for quick jaunts followed by a weekend of racing, sounds like good use of vacation time

mmeacham · 06-13-2003, 3:27 PM

Does anyone have a opinion on what the best ticket package is?

Also I am not camping but commuting. If any one wants to stay in Santa Cruz Mnts. I have a four bedroom house. Beds and couches for 6. About 45 min to track. Some nice back roads for people on bikes.

mmeacham · 06-23-2003, 2:27 PM

Did I kill this thread? Is there giong to be a meeting. Are you guys keeping it a secret form me?

Oh man... that does sound tempting. SC is only about 45/60 min. north (depending on where I guess). Hm..

Right now we are looking at $350 a head for the weekend to stay down there. Hm... saving that money would mean I could buy some cool stuff at the track instead of a flop-pad... hm. Being close to the row is really nice but.. crap.. Now I'm all confused..

Hell, those azzholes at SCRAMP still have not sent me my tickets yet either!!! What a bunch of losers.. no wonder MotoGP left...

RRWANTR · 06-23-2003, 7:22 PM

I just received my tickets today...ordered them on Jan 07.

Let's see.. I'm male, I live in California, I have a sports bike, Yep, I have a BBQ. I may even have two.

Holeshot · 06-23-2003, 7:55 PM

Oh yeah.. and lives in a beach town. The S.C. city council will actually jail you if you do not have a BBQ in plain view at all times.

RacerCutie · 06-23-2003, 10:34 PM

Hey now, I know plenty of males in beach towns without BBQs. *
