| Cool weekend |
| Sunday, March 2, 2008 |
Went to Big Willow this Saturday to coach three Porsche drivers incl Markus Herm driving his racing prepped German Auto Art Porsche 928 GTS "Christine". Had a really good time and the guys showed really good progress, developing really well over the day. There were also A LOT of other drivers at this event with a massive set of cars... from 997 GT3 Cup, 993s, Viper GTS-R, Shelby GTs, Ferraris, all in all very entertaining. Also had a fun time running into no less than four Swedes out there, out of which two knew my good racer friend Alexander Haegermark. How big/small is the world again?
Take a look here to check out some images from the weekend. http://www.caliphotography.com
Anyway, kicked back a bit at the Sunset Strip hotspot for good brunches and stuff - Le Clafoutis - after being up early this morning to do a sort of car "stunt"; it was actually 101 cars doing formation driving on the LA freeways (under CHP supervision) in relation to the LA Marathon. Think we got some good news coverage.
This upcoming week will be about keeping fit plus doing some event planning and possibly a trip to the Spring Mountain racetrack for the weekend. Stay cool. /CarlLabels: Instructing, Precision driving |
