We have Sean down from Oregon this weekend to shower him with our sparkling personalities and my homemade meals, but if you ask him, he's just down for our last race of the season at Thunderhill today. Sean towed down his Subaru to race, the same kind Chris used to own, and followed us to the track this morning at o' dark early.
Since he was new to the track, the Canadian rode with him on his first session on track to familiarize him with the twists and turns.
During their down times they would tune their cars and talk strategy.....or just sit on their asses and zone out.
Chris didn't have the best day ever. He did a little 4-wheelin' off track, had some wiring issues and even had to be towed in twice.
He still had a good time though since he improved his track time and got some good laps in. Sean loved it. He did some passing and kept improving his times. We were done around 3:30 pm, but instead of roaring out of there we discovered we had two dead batteries in Hank (our truck). Thankfully Sean was there with his big truck and jumped us, but now Chris needs to go buy Hank some new batteries this weekend (on the work credit card of course).
Now we're just relaxing at home trying desperately not to fall asleep before 8:00 pm. I'm keeping a steady stream of candy and beer going to the boys. There's definitely going to be a little sleeping in tomorrow. We have a date at Sierra Nevada in the afternoon for a tour and a late lunch with the rents. The boys are looking forward to splitting the beer sampler. It's a placemat labeled with all their beers and a spot for them to place a super sized shot glass of each flavor on. I've shared one with Chris before and they're a lot of fun.
