Show ME Your USGP Pix.

Damn! The stands are empty. Well I suppose partly due to economy, but the other part is due to greedy business folks at and around Laguna Seca. I could have gone this year, but I remember a couple years back when the hotels really tried to stick it to you. I'd rather see world superbike anyway.
 
some of those pics were practice....so not a good example of attendance. that being said, it was down...under 50,000 on sunday i believe. probably a combination of the economy and a "closer" race for easterners (indy). there were hotel vacancies and "special" pricing right up to the last minute. they were cheaper, but still not regular rates (although this is the first year we stayed in a hotel instead of camping, so they were cheap enough).

then again, maybe the 'novelty' of gp racing has worn off for some people....i didn't see tom cruise, brad pitt, pamela anderson OR fabio this year.
