Totally in. Did it last year and had a blast. A far cry from On Any Sunday as most of the land is built up and there's a freeway running through the valley now. But, still a good time. http://lakeelsinoregp.com/ View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBsCsfo7M6w
There's a race the same weekend that's part of the event that's called the Mushman 100: View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Cac8gQp9Cs
2x took care of my bucket list requirement, not really my happy place race type. Always game to support events and the 2 times I did it were fun and its just a crazy vibe for the race weekend. Go have fun keeping the tradition alive. And be safe, it's very easy to get loose and careless (lot's of spectators to show off in front of) at the event.
The biggest plus is it's close to home - about 15 minutes or so. So, that certainly gets one of these
2006 Elsinore GP , the vibe, motopat with his 430 hes the only guy i know with big husky tattoo on his upper arm
Some pics from the 2014 LEGP. I've got some action shots + viddie, but they aren't quite ready yet. Had everything staged in the garage. Got up, did INSANITY, loaded the gear/bike and headed out. Up the 15 Freeway to Lake Elsinore (a whopping 15 minutes away!). Got there around 0600-ish to pit. The lowly weekend warrior side of the pit was empty but soon filled. And, w/in an hour, one would be hard pressed to find a spot. A guy paid my pit/parking fee - sometimes being in the service is pretty cool. This is the "jersey" I wore - gotta represent! Had my bike all staged and looking "factory" and all. It still gets a lot of looks. There was even a Ty Davis sighting
LEGP is on my bucket list, very local race for me but Ive been out of state at school the past couple years for it. I have my eyes on next year, itching to run it.
It's one of those for sure gotta do it moto events, even if its really not your fave style of riding/racing. Gotta get that On Any Sunday vibe!! It's definitely one that I am very happy to have done, and riding down the street in the middle of town with folks lining the barrier was a real rush for sure.
Thanks Rob. I had hopes of doing much, much better - until we got to the hill. Sat there for about 20 minutes while the course guys cleared the mess of down riders. Maybe I need to be more aggressive. BTW, Robby Bell's lap time was 10:26 for his 1st lap.
