[Ducati] Laguna Corkscrew

[mike major]

At Sears Point there are a number of places where you can see several
stretches of track at once making it much easier to follow the race and as a
bonus the race track announcer is simocast on FM radio.   In my opinion
Sears Point is a lot more spectator friendly but if you want to see the GP
boys flash by Laguna is the place to be.
