AMA Superbike races 09 @ Infineon in Sonoma

Waiting for Daytona Sportbike race to start at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma - about 95 degrees right now!

IRL on track!

Thanks to Sharon Walsh at Live 105 for the awesome seats! Front straight grandstands, just off the start-finish line, high enough that we were in the shade within 30 minutes of the race start. These cars definitely in slower on this road course than we expected (just a few seconds faster than Thomas on a 600cc motorcycle on this track), but they are WAY louder, and they make pit stops which is interesting for us to watch.

our kind of tailgating!

Traffic getting into Infineon was SO much smoother than Laguna. And that included non-race traffic going to Vallejo, Sonoma, and Napa. So we made it up there and parked very close to one of the gates with minimum hassle, and proceeded to have a little pre-race snack: sushi and sauvignon blanc!
