    I love Laguna Seca.

    I went there every year (sometimes twice) from 1975 until 1998. I moved to CO in 1999 and have not had a chance to get back for the motorcycle races. I liked the old track best.

    Myself and two friends rode the track one night on a dare, after drinking Jack Daniels. This was probably 1980, '81? I made it three laps and pulled into the camping area and my two friends continued on and were stopped by track security and ejected. We got them back in about an hour later. It was great.

    A couple of goodies for some of my pistolas. SB47 brace and VG6. Bought the draco from Kazoo many years ago.

    That corkscrew is NO joke man. First time on that track I goosed the throttle slightly coming over the top and the wheel barely lifted but due to how sharply it falls off it didn't touch back down until near the bottom and I nearly ran wide off the track. Total n00b move. lol TV and photos don't do it justice though as the elevation change is absurd when you're on it. Same with some of the corner banks as you almost touch a knee going around upright if you're on the inside of the corner. Good times.
