J_Copeland Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Does anyone know if you need to buy a parking pass when you're coming on a bike? At Laguna Seca, parking was free for motos. Website says that no infield parking pass needed for motorcycles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 In years past, they have wanted to see a license plate on any vehicle being ridden or driven. That said, if you are legitimately moving your track bike from the camp ground to the paddock, I'm not sure how else they expect you to do that when the main paddock is closed off for the AMA teams... I think they'd allow it until and unless people start acting like dopes and doing burnouts, wheelies, etc. Gear requirements for the parade lap are pretty minimal. I cannot speak from experience on that point, as I've never done it, but I have observed it in a drunken stupor from the end of the back straight. If my memory is correct and the policy hasn't changed in the last few years, they're going to want reasonable street gear. Helmet, jacket, gloves, and closed-toe shoes, but jeans will be allowed. they keep the pace pretty tame though. Full race gear might get you put into a group with a more zealous pace rider.

MidgetTodd Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 The parade lap is really boring. And now after the crash last year in the parade lap that set the entire day back, I foresee it being very slow this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Yes. I wasn't going to phrase it like that though lol. But yes it was a senseless crash from a bike that had no business on the track. He was an experienced rider, just no track exp and made a poor choice and on a bike that shouldn't been on a track to begin with. Set the day back 1:15 and in turn put AMA, Media, Teams, Staff ect in a huge bind. This years will reflect that lesson learned with a slow controlled pace.

lighteningbird Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 I just decided today to go sat to watch the racing. I have a few noob question since ive never been there for a race. Can I buy tickets at the gate. I will be in a car and Im bring my kids with me. Can I bring a cooler and do most people bring fold up chairs to sit. If anyone can relate I didnt know if it was like the torq race at redbud where everyone just sits in the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was some dude on a sumo. Happened right where I was watching. Took forever to get cleaned up. Watching the ama guys come through there on the warmup laps was scary.

I'd heard rumor of a crash too, but it was just that....rumor. I'm sure the pros were pissed about the delay and track conditions after that. Parade laps should be done at the end of the day so there is a lot more time to address any issues like that without interference with the racing schedule.
