YES! Got tix at Ducati island - ironically the last tix available. haha Well at least I'll get all the fix'ins: Parking my Panigale right next to the track (Instead of a mile away in a field), free cappuccinos, free gear check (that right there is worth the price of admission), breakfast and probably a ride around the track which I've never done at Misano - albeit usually at 3MPH with a police escort. At Laguna Seca, they used to do half a lap so slow you wanted to slit your wrists, then, last 5 turns they'd slowly speed up until almost balls out down Rainey curve. No one allowed to pass.
We'll see how the Italians do it. I'll guess similar.
 
You might want to check the calendar - there are two Misano dates now... this will not be his last race there
 
Ya, there's a second Misano race Oct 24th. There's a Misano track day the week before I think. Super cool! More chances to party.
Why haven't I crashed his ranch in Tavullia yet? I need to look into that. I'm sure every merican that shows up gets lunch and hugs.

I'm just throwing this out there from my Misano MotoGP experience last race. It was a little like walking into a prison. The entire place was sectioned off with 15' tin walls making 26 different entrances. We were allowed to enter exactly the single entrance nearest our seat, sit, and that's it. Everyone had to pass 3 levels of idiots checking temperatures, covid tests and tickets with QR scanners. One chick couldn't get her scanner to work so she started, "Sorry I can't let you..." I think I clenched a fist and started grinding my teeth and her partner grabbed my paper, read it, and yelled, "IT SAYS PASSED, JUST GO IN!" There may have been a prison story here if it wasn't for the guy with 2 brain cells functioning.
There was exactly one food booth and 2 T-shirt tents. It was a little depressing though I'm still super glad I went and I had a good time despite all. There was still a sea of yellow and yellow smoke bombs and cheering all that same. Every other seat was empty, so by the end, everyone was in the front row hahaha. It USED to be a highly social event with sprawling lawns to roam on and all the gadget and accessory tents, fan and club tents and general hoodlums being hoodlums walking all the way around the track, especially in Vale's back yard. This year zero of that.
Going to MOTOGP in groups with places to meet up is prolly a good idea for more fun. I don't know what else to tell you. Bring your own fun and plan to deal with the otherwise unemployable made gatekeepers if you can imagine where this covid regime is going.
