Anybody want to hang with me at the Long Beach Grand Prix?

I'll be in LA on business starting April 19th and am planning to attend the LBGP which is that very day. Don Stegar is working the race and can probably get me/us into the pits at no extra charge! I attended this event 20 years ago with Ron Lowe of Swedish Autoservice/DMC (Zone Rep) fame and had a unforgetable time. I'll go it alone if necessary but if you want to have some fun this is a "bucket list" event. Contact me privately if you're interested.

Man Rob, I though you were speaking about a Long Beach NY event. I'd love to go and hang with you but LA is out of my budget.
Have a wonderful time and try to post pics if you can!

Sorry this one is in Long Beach California. I did actually race a motocross event back at Long Beach NY that was held right on the beach. I got the "holeshot" in the first 250 amatuer moto and when I went off the first jump almost went over the bars as I had never landed in pure beach sand off a high jump before.
I managed to hold on to win the moto and the 1st place trophy that day (Best average finish of 2 races combined).
You brought back some fond memories of that day with your post so I had to reminise a while there. You missed that inaugural (and only as it turned out) race by 36 years as it was 1978! I can still replay most of that day in my head. I didn't get too many holeshots as I was usually a little slow out of the gate but not that day. Thanks for the memories! If I can dig up some photos does anyone care to see them?

Please do

Oh yes. Of course I'd like to see them. I was 7 years old in 1978.

I'll likely be down there for Formula E, but that's this weekend. Too bad!

Sounds like fun. I used to go to the Detroit Grand Prix every year as a kid growing up, but haven't been to one here living in LA. PM'd you.
