The day had been cooler than Friday or Saturday which was good as I got a touch of heat stroke Saturday, didn't think I was going to make it to the track Sunday!! But being the "little" trooper I am....LOL
Over 61,000 were there for the race and boy you could tell after when trying to leave, you think The Island is bad... its a walk in the park!! Cars/ buses/ scooters and bikes and who the heck cares which lane or direction you should be going, just go!! LOL..
Had a great time again.. Thursady went to the Go Kart track near the main circuit and watched some of the riders karting, it was great hardly any security telling you that you can't do this or that. Got to talk to all the riders who were there and take lots of pictures..Pedrosa, Smith, De Anglesis, Melandri, Criville, Mamola, Simon, Redding, Baustista, De Rosa, Webb, can't think of the others!!

Ooh, you lucky so-and-so Roby! I'd love to see a race overseas. One of these days...
Glad you had a great time. Sounds like a memorable experience.

WE are starting to plan for next year now. You should see if you could make it!! Its great and with these low cost carriers now not that expensive..

Friday at the track there is FREE!! and then a grandstand ticket for Saturday and Sunday is RM 80-100 which is about $35.00..

Nice pictures Roby! I bet the go-kart race was entertaining to watch. Those guys would be competitive beasts if they were playing ping-pong against each other I reckon.
