It looks lonely because nobody is allowed on that side of the pits. This weekend on the other side, will be an absolute zoo!!! Just today there were a lot of people.



Anyways heres more. Most of the teams were hiding in the garages, and I could've got more pics but my boss let me longboard on the track!!! 8-) I didnt go down the corkscrew because the steepness intimidated me. :hehe:



my board and down the main straight going towards turn 2. This hill was so much fun, not too fast and not too slow.

Sorry but all the other teams were in their garages with the doors closed (probably because it was lunch), so I just got pictures of their thingies

It was. Not just because I was longboarding on a world class track, but because the track was so smooth. People outside the track were like, wtf??? :hehe: It was fun for like 30 minutes until someone complained and my boss told me it was time to stop. He used to board in empty pools back in the 70s, so he understood why I wanted to go on the track. :thumbup:

Rossi looks a little camp, Lorenzo looks a little camera shy ;)

By now Rivelution must be an expert in all sorts of weeds.how much weed is there man. :hehe:


a lot is an understatement. :hehe: But we have prisoners get the huge areas, I just get the weeds on the track, pit, and tv areas.

Rive do you work for the circuit?


Yes, how do you think I got all those track pictures?




The Europeans are invading the pit!!

some even had their thingies set up already

I think these will be the pace cars this weekend

other side of pits

Start/Finish. The banner this year looks so bitchin, the one on top of the corkscrew is kickass too.

I asked my boss if I could walk around the pits, and he said "do whatever the hell you want!" I find it funny that people pay hundreds of dollars to get as close as I'm getting, yet if you pull weeds and work for the track, you get unlimited access and free tickets. :hehe:


Awesome job here pal, nice pics ;)
now you need to get up close and personal an find out who re the twats of the pack and who are the nice cuddly bears :rofl:

Stoner still baffled by illness

By Michele Lostia and Matt Beer Friday, July 3rd 2009, 12:46 GMT

Casey StonerCasey Stoner remains unsure about the cause of the illness that has hampered him for the past two races - and says he cannot be confident that it will not hold him back again at Laguna Seca this weekend.

Although the Australian took third places behind the Yamahas at both Catalunya and Assen, in both races he had to ease his pace due to discomfort from stomach cramps.

"The situation is rather strange and difficult to understand," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Between the Catalunya GP and the Dutch TT I felt fine, but then in the race I felt sick again. Now I've had little time to recover and in these days, to be honest, I've never really felt 100 per cent well.

"At Barcelona I had stomach cramps, while in Assen I threw up after the race - two different symptoms, but perhaps caused by the same problem."

He hopes he can find a way to improve his condition before the Laguna race.

"We'll do some medical tests and we'll try to understand the reasons," said Stoner. "The objective, obviously, is to get to Sunday in better shape compared to how I was in the last weeks."

Stoner added that the situation was extremely frustrating because he believes the Ducati is competitive enough to fight with the currently dominant Yamahas.

"The potential to do better was there, and that could be seen at the start of the race both in Barcelona and in Assen, when I could keep up with the Yamahas' pace," he said.

"Unfortunately after that I had to give up. You could say that in the last two GPs the limit was myself more than the Ducati.

"At Barcelona we made a good step forward and the GP9 works well. [Valentino] Rossi and [Jorge] Lorenzo are going rather quick, but if the bike carries on being this competitive then we can get some good results. However, a lot will depend on my physical condition."

This isn't good for Casey. He has been superb during the two races considering his condition. I wonder if it may be more serious than first thought?

Just on Twitter and Toby Moody, legendary Moto GP commentator and journalist, forwarded this video.

Anyone who is a MOTO GP fan needs to watch this. It is hillarious.

:hehe: WTF

Can you imagine F1 ever doing this. :rolleyes: Moto GP is just great, because despite being so high level and professional, they still find time to make stupid stuff like this. I love it.

Rossi would make the worst secretary ever. "H, ca I elp yuu." "Wha yuu mea yuu n' comprende" Not to mention the several fans collapsing or going nuts cause they're talking to Rossi. Also, as you would expect, racing drivers don't make good actors. They never have, but heck, props to Edwards. He was not half bad.

It was brilliantly scripted and I agree, Formula would just not do that. It is great that they all poked fun of themselves.
