Its been MANY names. Sears Point, Infinion and now something else I think.

During the summer months every wednesday night they host an open drag and drift night. They have a sectioned off part of the parking lot for the drifting and the standard drag strip for the drags.

You can bring whatever you want. If you just want to view it's $10. I go like 5-6 times a year. Its a fun night out for a weeknight and only 15 min from my house in San Rafael.

(Not really thrilled with any colors on that car, but Tangerine Scream is the most interesting...which I figure is why it is extra cost)

haha

I dont ever run. I just go to see what cool cars might be there and have a few beers.

I did just put a brand new clutch and pressure plate in a few months back though. The car pull's noticable harder then before. To a degree of WOW this thing is pretty fast.

It was slipping pretty bad for awhile.

I don't know if there was a local sale, but I am seeing Maserati Granturismos all over my town. Pretty sure it's the same three but they are very visible.

Saw a Fisker Karma about 2 blocks from my office yesterday. First one I've seen in the wild and it looked hot.

And no, it was not on fire.

Saw a new A3 3-door (the updated body style). Weirdly, looked like it was on Michigan manufacturer plates, despite the fact that VAG relocated its HQ to Reston a few years ago.

Nice looking car.
