[Ducati] Laguna Corkscrew

[Ken Mannina]

If they're going to put 50,000 people on the hill, I'd rather be situated in
an orderly fashion than a free-for-all CF of a dust bowl (like the
Corkscrew).  I sit on those steps in turn 2 at Sears Point every year at the
AMA date and it works great.  SCRAMP needs to wake up and take note.

That "nicely carved out seating"is a hot and miserable place compared to the

shaded hillside that used to be there ... And the speakers are pretty much 
inaudible unless you're sitting in just the right seat due to their piss 
poor setup.
