Day 2 - 24 hours

The plan was to stay at a hotel for couple of hours but I couldn't sleep so I took over the steering wheel. And 4 hours later it was 6 o'clock and we have been driving the whole night !!
And right now we've drive for 24 hours straight ! And average we drive 4 hours each before we rotate and get some gas. It almost sounds like a 24 hours race !!!

Is NASCAR big ?!

I did know NASCAR is big, and especially in America ! But I did not expect to see these funny objects today !













Checkered flag Ice Cream, NASCAR has official trailers, official tools,...officials everything and of course they must have the official ice cream of NASCAR - haha !

















Liz Allison has wrote an book how to win a NASCAR drivers heart - and it's scary detailed how to do it ! It's says everything, what kind of clothes to wear, how to act, what to aspect etc. It's a funny book and I've read a little, just to make me prepared :) hahha


Have a great day,
Marten

Changed my office !

A lot of things has been going on here in California and felt I needed to do some changes! I tried to think outside the box and I’ve found a new box/office ! I want to utilize the California sun so I decided to go From…

Plus the view is better ! Instead of having crazy fast racecar drivers all around you ! haha












I’ve not have so many days off since I came to America and now most of the people starts to take their vacations ! So I’ll enjoy as well :)

Happy 4th !

Last Sunday I celebrate Americas Independence day for the first time!

It was a lot of fun and full activity in downtown, parks, malls all day long ! And then 9:30 pm a professional arranged firework started which was amazing to see ! It was full action for 30 minutes and I was not aware that fireworks could be in so many colors, shapes, designs – but now I’ seen it :)

Take care,

Marten
