Second Majors race, this time at Buttonwillow Raceway down near Bakersfield, CA - video coming
Funding was secured at the last minute, Tim Tomas of Tomas Sport Tuning in Berkeley let me borrow his trailer, pops and I finished loading at 4am, were filled up and on the highway by 6, at the track by 9am
Friday Test Day
-learn track on way down, nap
-drive, learn track
-set camp, only ones tenting it again :W
-Joey and Brian get in
Saturday Race
-Brian and Joey help crew, badasses
-qualified P2, finished P1
Then the drinking happened because a bunch of close friends showed up, and because it was our first big win since this journey began 3 years ago
Sunday
-qualified p3, finished p2, three-tenths off the track record
-Dad and I stopped by Harris Ranch for celebratory steaks on the way, he told almost every server in there that his son won. awesome
