California Speedway October 2009

Yeah I know they changed the name to Auto Club Speedway but old habits die hard.

It dawned on me that I have way too many photos of cars and even of drivers and just how many photos of both can one person need? So I didn't take anywhere near as many photos at the track as usual.

A week of vacation on two tanks of gas

Claudia came down a little early for our usual fall trip to the ranch and we were able to do a few other fun things besides the ranch.

First we went to see Disneyland all done up for Halloween - the Haunted Mansion's amazing

Tuesday we went to the Autry Museum. I didn't take any photos but there was an exhibit of photographs of Grand Canyon that is just amazing.

Wednesday we headed up to the ranch taking a little detour to check out the Kern County Museum and specifically the Lopez Hill house. Its a great museum. The photos are all from the Iphone so not as great of quality.

Finally it was up to the ranch for our usual great 4 days of riding. A couple of these photos are from 2008 or May and all were taken with the IPhone again.

Red Bull Soap Box Derby

So it was the hottest day of the year and rather than stay in the house in the air conditioning I decided to head downtown to watch the Red Bull Soapbox Derby. It was packed - evidently free in today's economy is a big draw. I lasted for an hour before the heat got to me. Some of the photos were taken with my cell phone so not as good as the camera shots.
