Update from Laguna Seca today:
MotoAmerica Superbike SpeedFest At Monterey
Bikes are back! We are excited to announce that MotoAmerica will return July 10-12, 2020 for round 6 of their 10-race championship. Laguna Seca has been a part of the MotoAmerica schedule every year since its establishment in 2015, and we welcome them back for the 6th year in a row.
This year's 3-day event is a celebration of speed with all divisions of the championship competing on the technically-demanding 2.238-mile track. MotoAmerica has made an exciting addition to this year's event, sure to thrill racing fans of all ages. At four select tracks, including WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, the Heritage Cup vintage event will be held in conjunction with the 2020 MotoAmerica series, and will feature superbikes and other racing motorcycles from 1986 and earlier. See MotoAmerica.com (http://motoamerica.com) for more details.
The vintage category = "1986 and older Superbikes, as well as other racing motorcycles, two-stroke or four-stroke, GP or Production" :vroom:
Tickets for MotoAmerica Speedfest at Laguna are now on sale. This year ticket sales and camping are being handled through MotoAmerica not through the track as has been the usual process.

For those of you planning to attend the Laguna event, I confirmed with the MotoAmerica office that motorcycle parking is free as it has been in previous years when SCRAMP was running things. It's not stated on the M/A ticketing page. You can pay to upgrade to VIP parking if you wish.

Bummer. The racing has been good so far, especially in Supersport and Junior Cup
Just got back from working the Washington round, lots of fun :toot:
Not good news for the Monterey round scheduled for Oct 23-25. Alsothough it's still a go for spectators next month this is not a good omen. The IMSA race is the weekend after the Superbike Weekend.
Announced today by Weathertech Raceway:
