Default Indy motogp - who's going?

The Indianapolis motogp is just around the corner! August 28, 29, and 30.
Who's going?
Anybody want to have a little /26 get together?

My girlfriend and I will be arriving Friday morning and staying at a friend's place. We might try to make the ama grand national over at the indy mile saturday evening. ( http://visitindy.com/indianapolis/we...ar&p=1#details )

There is going to be a bike night in downtown indy friday and saturday nights ( http://visitindy.com/indianapolis/we...ar&p=1#details )

Me either. Since Casey dropped out, I sold my box tickets for $25.

I kinda wish I could go. It seems like the season is starting to get really interesting and unpredictable.

theres no unpredictability left rossi will win again with lorenzo crashing he is so far ahead in the points scale he would have to seriously mess up in numerous races to get it back to a level playing field

Rossi didn't win in England...

Even if he has a huge lead in the championship, there have still been some serious battles and really good races.

I knew Casey was history as soon as everyone caught up on power and got on the same tires. He's a good rider but isn't the total package like Rossi. And by total package, I mean, he knows how to communicate with his garage and he knows how to develop the bike systematically. Jorge, once he gets on the same bike as Rossi, will make it even more challenging! Can't wait for 2010.

...oh and I'm not going to Indy either.

i was so bummed to see rossi fall that would have been sweet to watch lorenzo and rossi go at it especially since lorenzo was having such a good day. Did anyone on here go to the xdl competition that was insane.

So, for those that have been to the Laguna GP and the Indy GP............which one was better? Why?

I went to the first GP at Laguna, **** was a F'ing BLAST. Planning to go to Indy next year.

Yeah 05 was the first year. If I went to Laguna again, I would prob drive to San Diego met my brother, then drive from San Diego to Laguna.

If Indy, then I would just fly directly there, but then have to rent transportation. I'm sure it would still be a blast though.
