They didnt check our tickets on Friday. We parked at the Honda lot.

Probably a utility tunnel. Kept secret to prevent terrorism, ya know.

Well... won't be until the 2014 schedule is announced. I THINK they announce the follow year's schedule before the end of the current season... so I'd think we'd know the schedule sometime in the fall.

Good Grief! MotoGP is a baragain. Have you checked out the prices of any other events there? I had fun, thought maybe I'd check out another event like F1, but hoo boy, too rich for my blood!

[Morgan Buchanan]

Amen brother. F1 was REALLY expensive.

MotoGP Calendar is usually posted end of November after the last race in Valencia.
You can access the calendar and follow the news on www.motogp.com

A true fan,, albeit the 'absence' of the one and only #34 KS has reduced my passion

Wow Troy... I hate to think what those tickets must have cost given the access you had to the pits and babes!

The "secret" entrance is not a public entrance. It isn't much of a secret either.

Scott, I feel very fortunate that my friend invited me. And we both feel fortunate that his friend provided the tickets to us for free. The additional vip pass that was provided to us for free was totally unanticipated. I probably ventured into some areas that I was unauthorized to go, but strangely the crews did not even blink an eye. I have no idea what those tickets and passes really cost, but for me it was once of those experiences that was priceless.

This was my first and I really enjoyed the weekend. The BBQ on Friday was a nice kickoff, spent Saturday night with other forum members on 6th street and ran into guys I haven't seen in years.
I had seats in the Honda section and that included one lap on the track. That was fun.
I ate a big breakfast every morning and 2 bottles of water kept me happy until evening.
Something that I found amazing about the weekend.

With the thousands of sport, sport/touring bikes in Austin for the race I did not see one single burnout, wheelie, or stunt. I never even saw a bike pulled over by the police. It was a great crowd to be a part of.
