As of right now, there are at least 10 people or so ready to buy, and are getting their friends in line too. Please tell all of your friends so we can make this first time a success and get even better deals in the future!

 

FYI - Hotel info from the folks at Laguna:

In regards to particular hotels, we have our hotel partners listed here: www.laguna-seca.com/travel

There is a new very large hotel opening up on Cannery Row in May, called “Intercontinental The Clement Monterey”. They just came aboard as a partner. Our hotel partners are properties have agreed to a set of terms that we put in place to prevent our fans from being gouged (for lack of a better term) on the big event weekends. It all stems from the MotoGP event, being the largest event in the county; some properties were taking advantage of the occupancy rates and making it very expensive for our fans. Our hotel partners will not do that. Now, having said that, the Monterey Peninsula is a premier tourist location and room rates often do reflect that status. What I’ve found is that many folks will stay in Salinas, or Watsonville even Santa Cruz. It’s not a far ride at all, and typically room rates are less expensive.

 

If you are interested in camping (Reg, I know you have a problem with that avenue....) I might be able to see if I can help you guys out, not positive but maybe I can see if I can do something......

 

We are starting off pretty strong. There are at least a dozen people making sure they can take the time off that I will be adding to this list soon. Keep putting the word out there!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I spent part of mine installing my new Givi wing rack. Those instructions are TERRIBLE!

I just wanted to see if anyone had any more questions about the group buy, or if there is anything you would like that isnt currently included in the package.

Hotel Searchers: Have you thought about renting an RV? Look into it a little more, and if it looks good I will see if I can get them to include RV parking in the cost of one of the packages...

 

Hey everyone...

FYI - I'm traveling to Barcelona on Friday through next Sunday, so I wont have a lot of access to email. Please email me tonight or tomorrow morning if you want the order form - dswenson@techtarget.com.

If you can't get in touch with me, try shooting a PM to one of the guys on the list and I'm sure they would be happy to forward the form over.

Thanks,
Dana

 

Hi everyone,

Barcelona was a friggin blast. SOOO many crazy eropean model bikes that I have never seen before. I was especially fond of Honda's big Africa Twin. Tons of VFRs out there too, even a forrest green 3rd gen which I have never seen. Tons of little 50cc and 125cc CBRs and Aprilias as well.

I just sent out about 6 or 7 more oder forms, so we are off to a good start here. I am swamped with work, but I will touch base with the people at Laguna this week for an official update.

Let me know if you have any questions, and make sure you send me an email address if you'd like an order form. Feel free to pass them along to friends too!

Dana

 

Not to hijack your thread, but...For those who cannot/will not rent a room or do not want to camp...is there a package just for admission? Maybe we can crash somewhere out of the area and ride to the races. Just a thought.

 

Yup, Package A does not include camping but does include VIP parking...

 

How many would be interested in pkg A?

 

Hey thats an idea, im interested

 

Latest feedback from the Laguna people:

***We need to start sending those order forms in ASAP***

-The most urgent piece of this whole thing is the paddock pass. Those are a limited number and will eventually sell out.
-Although the Premier Camping Section is sold out, there is plenty of space elsewhere so that isnt a concern yet.
-VIP Parking is for bikes only. There is another lot for cars and a free shuttle to the track, so no worries for those bringing the cages.
-If we do not excede 20 total orders this first time, dont worry. We can merge into another group if that hapens and swing for the fences next year.

Thanks,
Dana

 

FYI - this is still alive and there is still availability. Please PM me with your email address if you'd like an order form!

 

BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!

Hope everyone is well. FYI - Just got some feedback from our friends at Laguna. Tickets are still available, but need to be sent in ASAP.

They are going to process all the orders at once on June 20th.

Cheers,
Dana

 

How about those accommodation's Norcal??

 

Hotels are pretty much spent. I'm flying back from Boston that Friday morning so I'm pretty much useless...

 

Hello,

Hope everyone is doing well. TO EVERYONE WHO SENT IN AN ORDER - please email me at dswenson@techtarget.com and confirm how many tickets you ordered and which package. I need to put together a final head count.

Thanks,
Dana
