Laguna Seca AMA/GP 1983
With the Laguna Seca MotoGP race just days away I thought it would be appropriate to post some photos of the track circa 1983. This was one of the most contested years with Freddie Spencer edging out Kenny Roberts by 2 points for the World Championship. The track was very fast and very dangerous. As you can see there was very little room for runoff and if you did crash there were none of the modern safety features.
Fast Freddie
View from Mt. Zion - Fog-shrouded valley
Here's a quick panorama of the Sacramento valley, shrouded in fog - this was taken at Mt. Zion in Pine Grove.
The mound in the distance is Butte Mountain. The tower is a microwave communication tower.

1998 CBR1100XX At Mt. Zion - Head shot
Here's a photo of my '98 'Bird sitting up near the fire tower. It's a great lookout spot with a nice view of the Sacramento valley area.
I really like the low front profile of the 'Bird, even though it means that it provides almost no wind protection... unless I'm in a tuck.
