Laguna Seca MotoGP, any advice?

 Hi,

I know this is kinda late to wake up on that race, but gotta try atleast.

Looks like I will be in the area when the MotoGP is there so maybe someone
here could answer few questions.

Only affordable tickets I can find are General Admission, so are there any
good spots to see the race if you dont have tickets to some grandstand?
How early do I have to be there to be able to get a good spot?
What kind of traffic should I be prepared for? How about parking?
I assume this "Will Call" is some office or something where you pick up your
tickets if you order em after June 24th?

Any advice would be more than welcome

The grandstand seating really isn't very good viewing, so don't sweat
that. The best views of the track overall are up on the hills, either in
the middle of the track (near the corkscrew, overlooking turns 4 and 10)
or above turn 1. Outside turn 9 is probably going to be good as well,
closer to the action, although that area has been altered. The big
question is the crowd, which should be by some margin the largest crowd
they've ever had. The largest I ever saw was the '88 GP, and that was
getting pretty crowded, but that was very managable. Seeing the race
shouldn't be any problem. My advise is to move around during the day and
figure out where you want to be.

Parking is another matter. I would say you should get there early,
particularly since I assume you'll be in a car. It's going to be a
hassle getting out of there, so definitely stay for the SuperSport race
and take your time about getting out. But they should be considerably
more organized than back in '88.

What he's trying to tell you, is get there very, very early, screw the
cheap seats and find a spot as close to the fence at a spot of your
choice and plan on staying late. I understand they're expecting 170k+,
weather permitting, I've been there at 80k or so and traffic and parking
were crazy then, hopefully L/S  has a plan, yeah, right......

 
And all for a single race...

Well, 170k is way high, I think, and there are other races going on -
the AMA is running there as well, remember. And do the fans in the UK
flock to Donington to see 125 and 250? They didn't even show up for 500,
as I recall. But I guess one can take that sort of attitude when you
don't live in a place where seeing a GP in the last decade involves a
passport and a 12-hour plane ride...
