So what's gonna be the good setup for hotel/ camping/ seats? Been a while since I've been to the oval (can you tell me the year of the Sullivan Spin and Win?)

awesome. and they are going to run the 125 and 250 classes. I live about 20 miles south of indy and have friends that live on the west side. Looks like I had better get my vacation calender marked for those days.

 

THERE IS A GOD!!!!! :up:

Uber sweetness!!!!!

 

Wonder when tickets go on sale?

 

No way this will happen. It would be too good. Surely a meteor will land on the track or something.

 

I haven't been to a MotoGP race at Laguna, been to a few SBK races there and honestly never wanted to deal with the hassle for the GP. But, I'll fly out from New Mexico for this one....about time they brought the 125's and 250's and gave us a "real" Gp race. I'm really curious how they put in the new asphault in the infield to get around the final turn issues.

 

Time to visit my brother in law and his family in Indy. Oh yeah!!! This friggin' ROCKS!!!

 

I hope it doesn't conflict with the Nashville WERA round.

Hey Mongo!!! Can we get a different weekend for Nashville next year?

 

What Dewayne said. All us Nashville dudes are gonna be in Indy that weekend.

ROAD TRIP!!!!

 

You have one frosty Yuengling on deposit, sir!!!

 

so now that they're gonna do all this work to run Indy backwards, when does AMA and club level racing get to race there???

Its a shame theyre yanking the Turkish Grand Prix out.. thats an unbelievable track. but if you read the Article in Road Racer X, it seems ridiculous now that F1 runs that track, the kind of prices they wanna charge and at the same time state that theyre "motorcycle friendly"

 

ahhh i did not know that. so its not like daytona where they could care less if theres a single fan in the stands

 

While you're there, check out Ducati of Indianapolis right up the way from the racetrack.

 

There are hotels galore around Indy...and surrounding cities/towns. Even if you stayed 40 miles out of town it shouldn't be an issue other then maybe some traffic...but there are many ways into and out of Indy so you might just have to do a little GPS work. I may just have to give some old friends a call and go up for this one.

 

I hope the tickets go on sale prior to December. If so, I have Paul all taken care of for Christmas for this year....

Tickets - Motorhome - two street bikes - :up:

Whoo hooo!

Dawn

 

They would still have to do something with what is now the final two turns of the F1 layout, even if they do run it in reverse. There's no way they're going to go screaming into T-1's banked superfast turn WFO with a wall on the outside, and I pray they're not going to do a mickey mouse chicane to slow the riders down.

 

Is the 500 really the only event held there?
