A lonely champ car



Too bad the keys weren't left in it

The track seems to be coming along nicely. Here's a pic of the pit stations coming together



Heard lots of people talking about it too, I have a feeling it will be pretty packed, since they've been selling tickets faster than they can send them out. I'm pumped for some local left AND right turn racing.

Too bad I almost missed the boat the boat on tickets since I was originally planning on being out of town this weekend. Dug up some Sunday tickets, but if anyone has extra fri/sat or paddock stuff they are looking to unload/sell PM me!

 

nice pix! it will be a great event!

 

but i think theres only one right turn lol. but yeah i know what you mean. ie. not nascar.

damn look at how knobby those tires are.

 

Crazy looking tires. Tells you how ummm...smooth our streets are..haa.

anyone have a link to the course map? My buddies house and office are down there. I'm thinking of heading out to watch on Sunday.

bah....

I saw that on Channel 2 this morning. They said it's the display car. Man, how I'd love to sit in the back seat of that thing while it's tearing it up....that is a second seat back there, right?

those are just the tires they use to drive to the event

 

Thats correct it's a 2 seater demo car.

here's a shot of the pit straight. The palm trees are in between the course, and pit lane.

 

Nice pix.

 

It's tough enough for me to drive down to SJ during any normal weekend. I always end up getting lost on their weird-*** freeways that go south then west or east or circle back. I can only imagine how much more lost I'll be with a load more cars there and street closures.

btw, nice pics.

totally.

what trips me out is how 280 south = 680 north, and vice versa. its only for a short time though when the freeway runs east/west, yet says south/north. ok i make no sense.

 

I had a meeting in Santa Clara last month and was lost for a good half hour trying to get there. I was within a few miles of the office the whole time, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out those damn expressways!

 

That's why I like SF. It's either 280 or 101; North or South. Then again SF is only 7x7.

Praise be to [insert higher power/deity/etc here]!!! My day is over.

laters y'all.

 

im not looking forward to working tomorrow with all the road closures. i work over on the other side on market... marriott.
