Today we roamed about the Napa Valley. Visited the Napa Outlet. Yankee Candle is having a mad sale. They're rent is done for the while, so everything was an additional 75% off. Yep Large 30$ candles were on sale for 15$ Minus 75% thats 3.75! You know who went a bit sideways on the purchase. The best was a basket full of scented bars of soap. MSRP 4$ on sale for 2$ but they were on the CLEARANCE section, whats the clearance section? well it gets 75% + 75% off, 4$ -75%= 1$ -75%= .25cents. I was joking in saying 'might as well buy the whole basket..' Well there were only 20 of them. 4 Dolla! 4 Dolla!
Finally we ventured to our desired destination: Infineon Raceway.
Lean!
When we arrived it was slightly late, about 3:40pm, we got there and they didn't collect our ticket (from Mr. D! Woot!), and parking wasn't charged anymore. So we trot right in and it seemed like everybody was leaving! oh no! We get to the stands and its kinda sparse, with nothing going on we decided to sit for a bit and at least look around. The grandstand chairs are very nice! They were sorta flexy plastic that looked small but it functioned pretty well! Anyhow after about 5 minutes the Superstock Qualifiers took place. We sat around for about 30min watching these speed machines zip off. Fluffielady said they sound like the Star Wars SpeederBikes, sweet! In the middle of the raceway was this Wheelie-Trickster Competition. I recorded a little bit of racing and Trickery. I shoulda recorded this one trickster dood, he was seriously Ghost Riding the Whip! He leaned the bike over and was doing circles while off the bike, rotating on one leg while kneeling on the other. Afterwards he stared accelerating while still next to the bike and stood up skidding on his shoes at a good rate of speed!
This is called the 12 O'Clock Position.
Afterwards ate at the WildFox Restaurant, it looked like a neat chili's / applebee's kinda place, but it's a steakhouse. Its all Good! The pork chops were tasty and the pot roast was pretty good! The only thing i don't understand is the pizzas are in the appetizer menu.. Pizza before steak anyone?
