Indy Car test day at Infinion Raceway

[Magellon]

A good buddy and I headed out to Infinion Raceway this morning by way of Calistoga. Started in Santa Rosa heading up over the hills through some twisties. My buddy has a customer who has some old Citroen's and Harleys and lives half way to Calistoga so we stopped by. I'm not well educated on these items but his customer sure was full of knowledge. Took a few pics for anyone who might enjoy.



He also had this Fiat.


The Harleys, a 28' a 32' and a 41' I think. The one on the right is all rusted and original but he says runs smooth and is his favorite. I think he said the one in the middle was a "Knucklehead" and was a European model, he bought it there and shipped it here, the handlebars are different.


Next when went on to Calistoga and met up with another friend then road to the Fremont Diner just out of Sonoma. Good food but forgot to get a pic.

Next it was on to Infinion.

One of the Simraceway cars for the performance driving center.


Tony Kanan just walked out of the porta potty right in front of us, didn't have my camera ready.


Some other shots






A little video, I'ts a little loud so watch the volume. He stalls it out but restarts then blows by me.

Gotta love 2 wheeler VIP parking.


Walking through the garage area saw this.












The owner of this old relic just pulled up, says it was driven by AJ Foyt in the early 60's, its seen better days but still a cool piece of racing history.





Then it was West to Hwy 1 through Novato and Lucas Valley road. A quick stop at Nicks Cove for a little break. Our bikes and my 2 buddys in the pic.


The Boat Shack is at the end of a pier at Nicks Cove, you call them back at the restaurant, order your food, they call you back then go get the food. Something like that, we didn't eat. Nice view of Tomales Bay though.






Looking back at the restaurant. The 4 or 5 cottages on the right go from $295 to $595 a night. I'd just sleep on the beach somewhere.


Then it was back up Hwy 1 to Santa Rosa a then home. All in all a good day.

If you know Calistoga, you know the best place in the country to get a open face tri-tip sandwich smothered with a really good hot sauce....The club I ride with once a month had a dozen bikes on a ride through Calistoga on Saturday with a quick photo-op stop at this winery.....I have to only Valk in the group. I did see a black Valk downtown and I think it had a sidecar??

[Magellon]

Busters? Eaten there a few times.
Never been to the Castle you guys are at, whats it called?

[Rio Wil]

Yep,  Busters is the place.  The winery is just south of that intersection at Busters about 1 mile and is called Castello di Amorosa winery.
