For those of us lucky enough to be in the Bay Area this weekend... check out this Press Release from Mazda Raceway at Laguna Seca!!
MOTO MONDAY JUNE 23 AMA TEAMS TESTING OPEN AND FREE TO PUBLIC
Free Activities for Fans Including Lap of Track
MONTEREY, Calif. (June 13, 2008) Fans are invited to attend the totally-free Moto Monday, June 23, when the top factory riders and teams from the AMA Superbike Championship will be conducting an important pre-race test at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Honda factory teams and riders are using the test session to prepare for two of the most significant AMA rounds of the 2008 season the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix (July 18-20) and the season-ending Corona AMA Superbike Finale (Sept. 27 & 28).
The first 100 fans will receive either a free Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix key chain or luggage tag.
Gates open at 8 a.m., and the paddock, grandstands and trackside viewing areas will all be open free-of-charge to the fans. The track is open to AMA team testing between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break scheduled from noon 1 p.m.
In addition to the testing, several FREE fan activities are planned including:
- Free Fan Parade Lap (bikes and cars in separate groups) Noon
- Q&A with motorcycle racing legend Wayne Rainey 1 p.m.
- Supermoto USA demonstration 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
- Latest Yamaha sportbikes on display
- Moto Monday-only ticket special At the track, fans can buy one Red Bull USGP General Admission ticket and get a free Red Bull USGP hat and a Sunday grandstand ticket. On the phone, fans can get the same deal, minus the free hat.
This is a great opportunity for fans to check out the AMA teams and meet some of the top AMA riders and living legend Wayne Rainey in a more casual setting than that of a hectic race weekend, said Gill Campbell, CEO/General Manager of Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
Were grateful to our friends at Yamaha who are renting the track that day, and the other manufacturers testing with them, for allowing us to piggyback their day with this great fan promotion.
The Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix, July 18-20, features the MotoGP World Championship along with the AMA Superbike, Supersport and Red Bull U.S. Rookies Cup.
