NASCAR Campingworld West

Yesterday night I saw the NASCAR Campingworld west race ! It's a really big event and a lot of things went on, both on the track and outside !

It was a great day with good racing, met some friends but the weather was little to good ! For the last couple of days it has been around 100 F/ 40 C warmed. Something I'm not used to when I lived in Sweden, especially in the end of september !!

Disneyworld for Racecar Drivers !!

My day at Infineon Raceway today was absolutely great !!
I got introduce to some big names in the racing industry, got a ride in a NASCAR around Infineon, did the GT Simulator again, go carts, had great company, ate some great food and the weather was perfect !!!















Chris Cook is one of the best NASCAR driver on the road courses ! He got hierd by Tony Stewart to teach him road course in stock cars when he went from Indycar to NASCAR !














A Swede with a BIG smile :)
it was amazing to get the opportunity to ride with Chris Cook ! plus we did some drifting in this NASCAR ! something I never thought I would experience in my life :)

"Sliced Bread" Joey Logano's new nikname !!















There were some really cool Vintage cars in the pit ! Old Formula 1 cars, like McLarens, Lotus, Porsches etc !














Even it's 6 lines it was tons of traffic on the way home ?!

California State Fair

Some weeks ago were the California State Fair and it was my first time at this kind of fair. They had almost everything there !

A big Zoo with everything from cows to kangaroos, roller costars, big gardens, car dealer ships, live entertainment etc. I have never seen a fair in this size before and each year almost 1 million people visit from all over America !

Race Simulator !

After I come back from the road trip it has been lot of work, both tried to catch up from the two weeks I was gone plus the first week in California. But it has been fun stuff going on so I’m excited and therefore it has not been so much time over for this blog - but I’m back now !!


Last weekend I get invited to Sonoma, Infineon speedway to try out a new race simulator. It's a new technology they had developed and right now they have three different simulators, one open wheel for Indycar and Formula 1, one GT simulator like Porsches, Ferraris and one NASCAR simulator.

This was the first time I tried this simulator and I managed to take the track record !!! Which felt good because a lot of pro NASCAR, Indycar and Prototype drivers have been there before me :)
