Ridiculous and Unrealistic, but......

[Med23]

WSBK just announced full calendar which was devoid of Laguna. Can AFM replace that noise-free weekend? I realize how unrealistic and expensive this might be for the club, but figured I'd ask.

Truth is that right now Laguna is in total turmoil, SCRAMP is out after 6 decades, and the new management wants "family friendly" activities, whatever that is. My understanding is that right now nobody is even scheduling events.

AHRMA is scheduled to race in February?
Their full list of classes too

It's a racetrack? How is that not family friendly? It's not like the infield at a nascar race.

I've been thinking about retiring but was holding out for F50. I'd race Laguna JUST to race Laguna. They have trackdays there and MA partnered with SBK - so maybe it's possible?

Family friendly Bicycles....
And bike rentals..

And afterwards take the kids out with metal detectors to search for undetonated ordinance.

Cycling the track isn't an "event." It's using the county park as intended. Might be fun on an electric bike. Hmmm, might make a good stop on the calendar for Moto/Formula-E.

It's really a hot mess right now. Should be interesting even for our beloved TDP's.

 

[ILOAD2]

according to WeatherTechs open letter released- nothing will be changing in regards to event scheduling or staff.

Indy is on the calendar for September again. Including all the support races.

But.... worth putting on the radar.

Shit might change next year after a couple failures.

Love to see the AFM back at Laguna.

Just before my time. Laguna. FCS... Laguna!!

We've been poking around/ asking every year for a few years. Paul Keiffer took lead on it and has had help from Eric and myself where needed. The problem that's left unsolved is the sound limit: we'd need a 103db day.

That being the case...I've got an idea that just occurred to me...

WeatherTechs Open letter said there was a "motorcycle Event" TBD in the spot WSBK would have occupied- Might have the lads look into piggybacking. that calendar spot was an open sound one...

It says "July 12-14, Motorcycle Event (TBD featured series)" which is a Sunday - Tuesday. Pretty sure whoever wrote that press release was looking at July of 2019, not 2020.

MotoAmerica has Laguna on the schedule July 10 - 12, 2020.

No way Laguna's happening. Took a bonafide shot, but not happening. We do have options for Fontana and Big Willow, but likely a 2021 thing given it's this late in the season.

 

[easter bunny]

Any details about why? Those Southern tracks get to be WERA West territory. I'd love to see a 3 way WERA AFM MA weekend.

C'mon man! It's Laguna! If they can figure out a way to have track days there you can surely figure out a partnership to get a race on the calendar for America's oldest org.

Good reason to buy an electric bike!

We're not large enough to get close for a 103 sound day. Without that, we're jogging the track, unfortunately.

I was reading today that a small boutique motorcycle "tour" company had secured a 105db 2 days in November 2020-

What is the criteria in getting an open sound day if it is being awarded to "small" groups?


This is the outfit claiming an open sound day-

Correction they are Claiming they have secured the ONLY 3 consecutive days at 105db for 2020?

I don't think it's about small groups - they do 3 x 40 riders which is pretty close to a normal track days. I would guess it's about it being November.
