Umigo Indoor Racing

Ken Kart Racing Brian Vickers Design Track #83 at Umigo in CA

Christina and I went to UmiGo Racing in Livermore tonight and had a blast. Their go karts get up to 45 MPH so even though it doesn’t look fast on the video, just trust me, it is really fast. I got a chance to do this in Scottsdale a while back, so when I heard they opened up an indoor track in the area, we had to give it a try. Christina is always beating me at racing at the putt-putt places and has the best time doing it, so I thought she would love kicking it up a notch or two. For the record, I did win this time, but I think she had the best time because she didn’t touch the brake and had to be rescued several times (my crazy woman). I also got black flagged because I kept the accelerator to the floor and would brake at the same time, which they didn’t like, otherwise I would have done even better. Thanks to Gary for telling me about it, if you are in town, you should definitely give it a try! I took some pictures with my cell phone camera, which aren’t the best, but I don’t think anyone looks that great wearing the helmets anyway. Oh, and yes my pants were dirty, I was planting some new plants this afternoon with Tyler and didn’t get a chance to change them before my date. 😉

Tesla

When I was in San Francisco a few days ago I saw a Tesla “in the wild”. The owner came over and asked if I wanted to take it for a spin and oh wait yeah that part was a dream…hate when that happens.

Rubicon Winery

Went to Rubicon Estate today which which was purchased in 1975 by Francis Ford Coppola and his wife Eleanor.  It was my second time visiting and it is one of my favorite wineries, mainly because they have a Tucker on the second story of the winery!

Castello di Amorosa

Went to Napa today with my parents and visited Castello di Amorosa which was probably my favorite winery I’ve been to so far (from a winery…not wine standpoint).  Got some great pictures and had an even better time.  After 6-7 samples at noon my pictures got more “creative”.
