It will be my first motogp race. I never attended in the previous years because I never really cared for motorcycle racing, but my friend who is way into motogp invited me so I said why not. I'll take pictures and share them with you guys.

Its awsome you'll love it.

I think I will. The only thing I'm not looking forward too is the traffic!!!!! I predict a lot of people will be leaving after the motogp race causing a giant traffic jam, but luckily there are some ama superbike races afterwords so that I can stay and watch while the traffic dies down.

When we went to MotoGP at Donnington the traffic was horrendous. Absoolutely terrible, and it wasn't particluary well organised (foreigners you cant understand (traffic marshalls)) and it was wet so loads of cars got stuck and muddy and needed pushing off the grass!

Did you blow them up?

?
Blow them up?

Aye just like the joker would?

Oh brilliant. There are a lot of foreigners that show up to Laguna, but I dont think enough to make it as terrible as yours. Well hopefully...

It wasn't terrible, loved the day, just traffic not great.

No no I'm not referring to foreigners making the day terrible, I was referring to them making the traffic terrible because I thought thats wht you meant?

Yeah its is. They jibber and you can't understand them

You got that right lolol

- 2009 Dutch TT – Predictions -

My predictions for this Saturday race, yes I said it this Saturdays race goes as follows;
From the stats that I have in previous years Jorge has won there 2 years consecutive in the 250cc class and also out paced Rossi in the 2008 race were Rossi ended up finishing 11th and Jorge finishing a beautiful 6th. I can only wonder what this race will have in stall for us, as Lorenzo has improved and is outpacing Rossi on many different levels? So what will this race bring, I think it will be Catalunya again,only Lorenzo wins at the end this time.But this time Lorenzo taking a nice easy lead just like Vettel did last weekend, From Statistics Lorenzo has always finished top 6 in the past 5 years, Rossi has always finished 16+ so his records here are not s impressive, Stoner on the other hand has for 5 years been top 5 but in the lower forms has not been as successful as Lorenzo? So with the years stats in hand they do point in the direction of Lorenzo.

Qually-
1st – Lorenzo
2nd – Stoner
3rd – Rossi

Race-
1st-Lorenzo
2nd-Rossi
3rd-Stoner

ok people I'm volunteering for laguna seca so that I can get free tickets for the moto gp. The first day sucked because i picked up weeds all day on the hillside on turn 1, but today was awesome working on the track. The corkscrew feels like a rollercoaster and is a lot steeper than it looks on tv. I didnt get a picture of it, but i did get pictures on the areas of the track I was working on (aka pulling weeds and picking up trash).

sorry for the bad quality on some of them, these were taken with my cameraphone


the pits early in the morning


bridge in between turns 3 and 4.


entering turn 4. notice they havent painted the blue on the rumble strips yet

My Race Weekend review, to be wrote Sunday night.

Lorenzo For The Win

[h-tomek]

I don't know yesterday's practice results, but it'll be close battle between Rossi and Lorenzo. I can't see Stoner winning this race. Yamaha drivers have the momentum and they'll use it.

[bud]

Stoner for the win!

[h-tomek]

Stoner for the win!

I don't think so. I can see Rossi winning tomorrow. As I said before, it'll be close battle between Vale and Jorge. Yes, I know, Pedrosa is second, but he can't be that quick in the race, not trough the whole race.
