Sorry fellas, but I am going to bail on this one. Since I need 2 more race weekends to qualify for the points race, I have decided to spare myself the heat exhaustion and race my last 2 races at Infineon on 10/25-26 and 11/8-9.

I am sure all of you will have a great time without me so stay hydrated and out of trouble. Friday 8/22 is my wife's birthday and something inside me is telling me that I should spend quality time with her this weekend. Hope you guys understand. :huh:


Quality time, huh. You could take her to the Indycar race at Infineon this weekend.

Re:CASH race Thunderhill August 23-24, 2008 3 Months ago  
I was just at Infineon today watching the practice and riding in a special two seater Indy racing experience car with IRL driver Davey Hamilton. We hit 125 mph coming out of the carousal and 165 mph before Turn 7. 1600lbs & 700 HP = instant acceleration!
Quite a bit of difference compare to our 2600lbs & 130 HP.
I had two tickets for the Sunday race but gave them away since I thought we rather be in a race than watching one.

some photos from the weekend...

Despite the heat, my kids and I had a blast. Just wish I hadn't spun the second time and missed my last session (that's what I get for trying to stay ahead of Jonathan in Thunderbolt) I ran out of track, tires and talent and spun off in 15. Those shoulders along the new asphalt were soft and deep! I packed so much dirt into my brakes, one of the rear calipers is still squeeking and sticking.
