Interesting! So Indy will have MotoGP *and* Formula 1! You know what that means... Formula 1 will have to come to Laguna now too.

I just read in RRW that if Laguna does not clean up their act for the 2007 race, DORA is going to move it. I say move it to Miller!

Clean up thier act as far as the way the track was coming apart? That was the fault of the contractor that did the paving. Miller would be awesome... but it's in the middle of nowhere. Monterey is a much better destination for all of the tourism that comes with MotoGP, IMO. Plus it's closer to me.

But how awesome would it be to see a GP race on the full track at Miller??!!! I don't know that it could get much better than that. Don't get me wrong, though, I love Laguna as well.

By cleaning up their act, I would think they are talking about the track and all the other crap that has gone on up there. IE the bus situation for one. In addition back to the track condition, Jake Zemke said it best when said, "There are people that pave parking lots 2 hours away from here that can do a better job."
