Re: [ST] Move MotoGP East!



All I can say is bring it East. VIR would be a great place to hold it, with a great track, and great complex in general.

Road Atlanta and Daytona are way too dangerous.
The FIM, Dorna, and VIPs very much prefer Monterey to Birmingham, and wherever all the other tracks are located.
Laguna has at least 3 years left on there contract.

The FIM did not have any gripes, well may be they were a little unhappy that the heat caused some spots on the new asphalt to break up. But they know that Laguna will fix that.
The FIM cares ZERO for US fans. Note the schedule change that left the track empty for 4 hours Sunday.

The price of everything at Laguna Seca is very high, always has been.
Last weekend was record heat. From personal experience of the last 25 races, I know it has never been nearly that hot for three days. The cool ocean breeze just never came. On the other hand the temperature after 7:30pm was the best it has ever been.
