Randy Mamola from San Jose, California riding to victory at Laguna Seca. Although Freddie Spencer won the GP title in 1983 Randy showed the local fans the future at this local race.

It's hard to imagine any race fan would think this is a good place to move the bridge. For now the view of the best corner complex in the world is now blocked by a foot bridge.  

This view from the outside of turn 7 (now turn 9) is lost to the bridge move. It is beyond my comprehension why anyone would ruin the view of one of the most famous turns in the world of racing to reposition a foot bridge.

Before the infield you  were flat out from turn 9 (now 11) into turn 4 (now 6) the speed carried through turn 3 had a huge pucker factor.
