Having been to Laguna once before, I knew what to expect from the traffic situation. Opening up the east road through the bombing range was a good idea and probably helped a little. And it is a fun and scenic road, and we found our way to the old base and spelunked for a while which was cool.
But as a mere general admission pass holder (even with a paddock pass) I felt like a second-class citizen compared to the masses of VIP tents and suites everywhere. I don't remember all that from the WSB races in 2002. We are left to try to peer over the top of a bunch of chain-link fence surrounding the track and that's about it. I'm glad I was there for the first one and it was a fun trip, but I don't think I'll plan on going back until they make it a little more accomodating for the little guy.
In fact from what I understand, even a bunch of the riders in the AMA support races felt the same way. Either they should bring in the 250s and 125s and make it a normal GP weekend, or Dorna needs to learn to play nicer and share.
