Two noteable drivers in theis weeks ARCA race at Talladega are Tim George Jr. from TRG racing Porsches. Also JR Heffner 2008 Lebanon Valley Speedway big block and small block points champion. Too bad the race is not on TV. Speed World Challenge will not be at Lime Rock this memorial day. I think we first went to this race in 2000? Joel? Rolex GT is gone too. The weekend will feature Koni Challenge ST saturday and GS monday. That is a bummer. Last year Kate and I went with the kids to see Koni GS and Rolex GT on monday. Not sure Koni can support the entire weekend.
McDreamy is driving for Team Seattle at LeMans 24 this year. Big step up for both him and Team Seattle. They have a Ferrari F430gt now. I wonder if it was white with red and yellow, or white and blue before they painted it? How did a team of all gentleman drivers get on the LeMans entry list? Isn't it invitation only. Team Seattle's only has a hand full of Daytona 24's for experience (they did win once or twice.

Quiet, smooth and Red

Grandpa and Oliver's water tower.


Train coming in the backround. These pictures were taken from the parking lot of the Red Caboose.




Red Caboose Motel. View out the window was of an Amish field and the Strasburg RR. Oliver watched out the window from the top bunk and yelled out "drawn horse buggy" everytime an Amish person went by on the road(about every 5 minutes). We had a bunk bed and a queen bed in the caboose. It was nice friday, cold and rainy saturday. Kate did not enjoy the odor of the nearby farms. It was pretty bad.

The Sacramento Bee did a story on Hank Shaw's blog, "Hunter Angler Gardner Cook". As a blog on off-beat foods and cooking, I decided it was worth a permanent link (see right side bar). He is originally from somewhere in downstate NY.
