Well, Valencia looks like it's gonna be LOUD at Sunday's MotoGP race.
I read in SuperbikePlanet that they proposed to Marco Simoncelli's father a minute of silence at the start of the race to mark the death of his son 2 weeks ago. His response?

A planned moment of silence at the Valencia Grand Prix this weekend may be changed to a ceremony more fitting a fierce racer. MotoGP planned a moment of silence to honor the memory of recently killed MotoGP rider Marco Simoncelli.
Simoncelli's father, Paolo, requested something more in line with what "Super Sic" would appreciate. The elder Simoncelli suggested instead that all of the bikes of MotoGP be throttle whipped for one minute, that this was something his son would appreciate.
Given the festive atmosphere at Valencia, and the popularity of throttle whipping streetbikes downtown, there's little chance that the race bikes will sing alone.
