OK OK...So a bit of info

Formula Drift Comes to Infineon Raceway July 9
Northern California's largest and only drifting championship will come to Infineon Raceway on Saturday, July 9, for a full day of action. The Need for Speed Formula Drift Championships will boast more than 60 of the top drifters in the world on one of the top circuits in the world at Infineon Raceway.

Drivers will enter Turn 7 at nearly 100 mph before they whip their car sideways and navigate a very technical and unforgiving course. This makes for some of the craziest tandem battles fans will ever see. Alongside the drifting, you will find a huge vendor midway featuring some of the top product companies in the country, a car show featuring 100 of Northern California's top show vehicles and, of course, the beautiful umbrella girls.

ALMS

July 15-17

The exotic sports cars of the American Le Mans Series return for a seventh year to grace the twisting 12-turn circuit at Infineon Raceway at the Infineon Technologies Grand Prix of Sonoma, presented by Ravenswood Winery, July 15-17. This weekend of sports-car action features high-powered machines reaching speeds of more than 150 mph. Audi, Panoz, Saleen, Ferrari, Corvette and Porsche will be among those jockeying for position on the circuit. Defending champions include Audi (LMP 1), Lola (LMP 2), Corvette (GTS) and Porsche (GT). The weekend will also feature the SPEED World Challenge, which will include main events in the GT and Touring Car divisions. This dynamic series features starting grids of more than 25 cars, including BMW, Acura, Mazda and Honda.

We have to get as many BMW’S out there as possible to fill our car corral and represent. I know last year they had prizes, tons of cars, girls, music, and a bunch of stuff just around the car show alone. They even let us all do a lap around the track after the race where if you space your self a little you can really open up. You better watch out to, don’t be mislead by my WIDE325 license plate, I got a little somthin’ to back up the looks finally.

Hope to see a big turnout. I might be able to get some tickets for a steal too so if you are interested PM me.. I will probably post up a price anywayz though if my connection pulls through
