All the way up there...!

A lot of things have happened since the last time I wrote here ! It's been a lot of meetings and planning's for next year ! I'm really excited and I hope 2010 will be the best year ever ?! That's how it looks right now...?!?!
Otherwise I tried rock climbing for the first time in my life !!! I had a great time and I really recommend it, if you're not a big fan of heights !!

It's a really cool place and Yes, you have to make it all the way up there :)

You can really tell that the summer is over now, even in California ! But we still have some nice days and sometimes it's been up to 86 F/30 C !

I get invited to Apple Hill ! California is famous for their wine district but they even have a special Apple district !!! It's a nice area with beautiful view and of course fresh and tasteful apples !

Everything is bigger in America ?!

Ones again...

Next weekend is Halloween, which is big deal here in America ! The stores have selling Halloween stuff for months now and people decorate their homes really stylish! It will be fun to celebrate a big holiday like Halloween in the American way !

American LeMans !

Last weekend I got invited to see American LeMans at Laguna Seca ! It was a great weekend with lots of racing and great company !

The day started by driving to the famous race track Laguna Seca south of San Francisco. When we arrived we took a walk around the pit area to see all the different activities ! After that all the race cars and teams lined up at the start finished straight away ! It was cool to be able to walk around all the cars and also got introduce to all the big names ! The second half of the race we suite up and walked out to the pit during the race ! It was so cool to stand just couple of feet away when all the teams did their pit stops !

American horsepower !

I woke up 5:00 am and after some yawn I head out to Thunderhill Raceway !

I went with a friend of mine to help out to drive coach for two great people at the race track. They brought out a Dodge Viper SRT 10 and a Ford GT. Two absolutely amazing cars that develop more than 1200 hp together and at this track we were able to reach a top speed around 140 mph / 225 km/h on this short straightaway! The Viper is such a beast and if you're still alive after each session you should be happy :)














The Ford GT is a great car, good handling, brakes and tons of horsepower. This owner did not thought that 550 hp was enough so his car develop more than 660 hp !!!














In the end of day I got a ride in a Mazda RX7 race car and I was wearing my street shoes and clothes and from the heat of the car my shoes started to melt a little !! but it was worth it !
