Nizam,

I don't really know about the turn worker stations. I can try to look into it. I think that there are better places, however (I went to every spectator race at Laguna Seca between 1971 and 1986, and then typically 2 a year since then).

On the hill on the outside of turn 1 (just beyond the flagstand - regular spectating area), you can see all the way from turn 9/10/11 all the way around to turn 6. It really is the best place to shoot turn 1/2/3. My favorite spot to watch a race.

From the OUTSIDE of turn 6 (you have to follow the trail by the bridge) you can see the cars coming under the bridge, thru 6 and up the hill toward the corkscrew. If you are nice to the turn worker, you can probably get even closer to the track.

The corkscrew. The best place to shoot it is from under the oak trees on the inside of the track at 8A. I doubt that you will be able to get across the track. Especially since we will be on a very tight schedule.

11: I think from the top of the grandstand would be perfect.

The start/finish tower would be an interesting perspective, too. I am sure that is no problem.

As far as turn worker stations, I think you are going to have to scout around and ask each turn worker individually. I am sure (for insurance reasons) that Laguna won't give us permission to get closer without a bunch of red tape.

I just watched a video of a Can Am race at Laguna. It belongs to one of our "regular" instructors. If it is OK with him, I will send it to you. They shot the whole race form 4 locations.

Once you guys have mastered Laguna Seca, then you can tackle the Enduro.

So, Nizam......where is this "race" Milano we keep hearing about???
