anyone go to laguna seca MotoGP last year?

Moto-GP is really cool! Yes trafic is bad but they have fixed that this year. I spoke with Mazda Raceway (Laguna-Seca) when I purchased my tickets, they told me that one of the changes made from last year is to not allow ANY vehicles that are not race support or VIP into the raceway period. What that means is there will be perimeter parking only and it is a far walk (hike) into the raceway.
They said there will be enough shuttle busses for the out-lying areas to move everyone with NO problems (right?).
The Pit passes were sold out in the first week and so were ALL Grandstand seating. Camping areas inside the raceway were getting sparse the last time I checked.
When we purchased our tickets, we also bought a VIP-Hospitality ticket ($385-) just to obtain the parking inside. I will be selling the hospitality ticket later as time gets closer to the event, probably for face value w/o the parking pass.
Last year, we got lucky and parked in the pits as a support vehicle for AMA.
Price gouging is ramped out there, you may want to check for places to stay before you commit to purchsing the tickets. Motel 6, 10 miles away had rooms for $275 a night for that weekend.
There a other places in the area but they are a bit pricey; $175-500.
If you do decide to go, definitely get a PIT PASS, it was half the fun of being there!
Like the other person said, look on EBAY for tickets.
Good Luck!

Really, if you're gonna spend the money to go to a MotoGP race at Laguna...

You could probably spend the same amount and do it in Spain or some really motorcycle motivated place for the same money.

Kevo?  You watching this?  You did Valencia last year...

Yes, yes.......
I remember how ALL the grandstand seating was sold out last year.  Oh I was so bummed, I was going to have to sit on the hill and get dusty.  What luck I had seats for Saturday, so I could walk past 'ticket sales' at the enterance to the grand stands......  
Buy general admission, go to the entrance of the grand stands when you show up Friday or Saturday & buy your grandstand seats.  (There were a couple of seats around us that were open for the GP last year. So we were able to spread out a bit!)
I don't know what camping passes are going for on eBay, but if you know anyone camping, hook up with 'em to claim a 'camping wristband' for motorcycle access.  Parking problem solved.
