Spoon !

This morning I received this great footage of the 25 hrs race I did last year ! They followed the well-known tuner manufacture for Honda, Spoon. They raced in the same class as me and I remember they were really fast, but I did passed them couple of times !!! What I didn't know was I raced against the President of Spoon and the game producer/president of the famous Gran Turismo game, pretty cool !

A big news here in northern California was it rained last Sunday, haven't rained here for a very long time. Rain here is like the first snow in Sweden !!

Saint Martin

The last week has been crazy, been everything from computer work to meetings to driving etc. But is all good stuff ! One thing I didn't know before I moved to USA was I'd become a very loyal Starbucks customer ! Its a good place to have your meetings and meet people and from this last week it almost feels have been to every Starbucks in northern California !













A whole different story, I watched a cool TV-program called Most extreme airports. Even today there are airports on this planet you can't even imagine still exist. My favorite was Princess Juliana Intl. Airport at Saint Maarten ! I believe I've to add that one on my bucket list !!

A long day !

The alarm was set on 5:45 then 2hrs drive to the race track ! It's so nice to be able to have the whole track for yourself ! It's a great test day of a new race car mixed together with some aggressive driving in a Porsche 911 GT3 RS ! Now back home to continue to work for a great future :)

The Buried Life

I usually don't watch Tv but last weekend I come across a great Tv-show called The Buried Life. Its four college guys that have done a list what they would like to do before they die. It's everything from fulfill a dying person last wish to sneak into the Playboy mansion. The funny thing is a couple of weeks ago I did my own bucket list. I'm glad and proud I've already achieved some of it. I believe it's important to have goals in your life and not be afraid to dream big !

They ending every episode by asking;
"What do you want to do before you die ? "

Correction...

I just wrote everything is going good, but unfortunately the gearbox just broke, and the weekend is over. -That's racing sometimes. When I come home I got invited for a BBQ party which made the day a little bit better !

Have a great weekend,
