SJ Grand Prix

My friend Juan got hooked up with box seats for the Third Annual San Jose Grand Prix over the weekend -- who knew it would be so much fun watching cars drive around in circles? Watching the slick racecars as they swoosh by in a fraction of a second, hearing the loud buzz of the engines, and smelling burnt rubber, all while sipping wine in an air conditioned box...I can't think of a better way to spend a lazy Saturday. The best parts of the show were the motorcycle "clown" who did tricks on a Harley between the racing. Then there was the drifting, where 3-wheel drive vehicles would skid and slide at turns with amazing skill and leaving a cloud of smoke in its wake. All this AND a few new rubber duckies to add to my collection!

Check out some of my videos from the Grand Prix:
