Sea Lions at Pier 39
Hello everyone!
Things have still been busy (as usual) around here, but we’ve managed to squeeze in some fun. Michigan last week was a good run for us. We finished 15th and the pit crew was on their game. They gained spots on pit road every time we pitted. One stop we even went from 10th to fifth! Hopefully everything carries over into this weekend at Sonoma. Road courses haven’t been David’s strongest tracks in the past, but he’s put in a lot of hard work testing and feels ready for this weekend. He’s been to Road Atlanta and was out in Sonoma here testing last week. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
Sonoma is far away from home, but also is a fun place to come visit. We all flew out Wednesday morning to come to the track for a media event. avid delivered the trophy for Sunday’s race to victory lane. The Coast Guard helicopter dropped the trophy off, where two men in suits and white gloves helped David pick it up and load it into the back of the UPS package car.
Studio in Los Angeles
David and the UPS driver took the trophy for a lap around the track and then delivered it to victory lane. There was a bunch of media here so David did some interviews and then we headed into San Francisco to the Comcast Studios. He did an on-air interview there and then had some radio call-ins to do.
After all the media we had time for some fun. We went to Fisherman’s Warf and hung out down there. We saw the sea lions (really cool, but they kind of stink), went to the aquarium, and then had dinner downtown at an Italian restaurant. We called it an earlier night since our bodies were still on East coast time and we had to get up early the next morning.
Thursday morning we left the hotel at 5 a.m. and flew from San Francisco to Los Angeles. David was on a game show, which will air in the fall. I can’t tell you much else right now since the release didn’t go out yet, but it was cool and everyone will have to check it out when it airs. We’ll keep you updated!

Now we’re off for practice, qualifying and maybe a little fun in Northern California wine country!
