Started the day with a wonderful breakfast buffet then headed out to Santa Monica for a little bit ! Then met some friends and network at the race track ! The race was crazy,like a crash festival, half the field didn't finished the race ! Unfortunately Brennan was one of them. But Travis Pastrana did suprised everyone, including himself by finish 6th !! He's super cool and laid back, even have the coolest trailer !!

After many hours of waiting at the airport we finally took off ! And of course right after we picked up the rental car we headed out to the race track !!! Brennan and his team did great and qualified 4th and Pastrana 20th ! Its a long race tomorrow so we'll see how it goes !
After being home for two weeks its time again to go to the airport and its pretty foggy this morning ! Going to Los Angeles for the weekend to meet some people and to see my friend Brennan Newberry race in the NASCAR K&N ! Plus some other friends that will race, even Travis Pastrana will do his NASCAR debut this weekend !!
I'm excited about this weekend; Los Angeles, great people, my friends birthday and NASCAR = should be great !!
Have a great weekend !

Today was a fun day at work ! Started the morning to go throw some emails then headed to San Francisco. The day ended in a fun way by spending some time at this super cool racing simulator with the Team Copa guys !! The situation turned very fast from playing to competing !! But its tons of fun though !

The best way to describe last week is to take a look at the first picture ! -A lot of computer work together with a lot of coffee !!! But its good and excited stuff ! The last couple of times I been running I've been running into this wild animals, pretty cool !
Its so nice to be back home, my bed and the California sun, was actually 68F / 20C one day !! Still little jet leg but its nice to go for a long run the other day ! On the agenda for this week is computer work and meetings !!
Took me three days to fly back home to California from Charlotte, NC ! But finally Home Sweet Home !! Now the plan is to just catch up with everything and get back in the rhythm !
Everything looked good this morning but then it get cancelled :( I do have a new flight from here 5:49 pm but most likely it will get cancelled as well ! So I guess hurry up and wait ! I still can get a lot of work done, just make the best of the situation !
This crazy day started by I got a phone call 6am that my flight back home to California is cancelled. After many many phone calls later I decided to get a hotel close to the airport so I've bigger chance to get the next flight ! But the trip to the airport was something special, its was more ice on the road than snow and after our many miles on these tires. The rear ones looked like slicks -Scarry ! But we managed to arrive ! And now I hope my flight, tuesday at noon doesn't get cancelled as well ! Another cool thing was that we saw this NASCAR Semi trailer parked just outside my friends place !!
Got back to Charlotte at midnight and when I woke up this morning its 32F / 0C cold outside ! And 36hrs ago I was in Florida with white sand, blue water and 72 F/ 20C warm ! -What Happened ?!
Went up early today to run on the beach before the sunrise !! Then headed over to Daytona Speedway and now, afternoon we driving back to Charlotte, NC ! We stopped by at Jacksonville to have a nice lunch before we leaving Florida !
Today was a great day, started by going to the beach then spend the rest of the day at Daytona Speedway !!
Happy Swede !
After 10hrs of driving we've finally arrived to Daytona Beach Florida !! Try to get couple of hours of sleep so we've some energy left for the next long day !!
Today we had some meetings and could from there plan the rest of the day and the trip ! We left Charlotte this afternoon and right now we're heading to Daytona Beach Florida !!! Even saw the swedish flag in downtown before we left !

We arrived to my friends house outside Washington DC on January 1st ! We relaxed during the day after two days of traveling. Then we went to the theater and after that we took an impulsive decision at midnight to help out a friend to move in to his new apartment ! Resulted I was awake for 22 straight hrs and only slept for 4hrs today !!!

We arrived yesterday at Nashville about 7 o'clock ! We had a great dinner at Red Lobster then Jeff and I decided to work out !? But we still managed to arrive next to the big stage in downtown 15 mins before midnight ! The atmosphere during the countdown was really cool !!! The tradition is to drop a ball during the countdown but of course in Nashville they drop a guitar !! Broadway street in downtown Nashville is very cool and I recommend everyone to visit there !
Happy New Year !
