I went up to Davis this past Friday to sleep over at Mike's because we had an autox the next day. That night in Davis was boring like crazy...I was forced to go to some birthday party with Mike because Cart was busy with his friends. At the party...I watched people drink their weight in alchohol...smoke...hide from cops...fight...dance... I don't do any of that...so I just sat around with Anthony. Sometime after I left, someone stole Kenny's laptop. RIP Kenny's HP.
That night at Mike's apartment...we slept in Mike's room that he shares with another apartment mate. That apartment mate wasn't supposed to come back that night, so I slept inside the room. So...after Mike fell asleep...I hear the front door opening, and I hear this guy and this girl talking and they're both coming into the apartment. So I whisper-yelled, "MIKE!", but he didn't wake up. I didn't want the guy and girl to know I was awake...so when they walked into the room I was in this hell of awkward position, but I just closed my eyes and tried to keep still. They thought I was sleeping so they just continued about their business... but the position that I was in was starting to get painful and cut off circulation in my right arm. After like 5 minutes they left the room to go shower and I adjusted to relieve the pain.
On Saturday we woke up early and made the hour long drive to the Stockton Fairgrounds. We got there pretty early, so there weren't many cars. After registration and preping our cars...we got on grid and got ready to race. The format of the race was 3 2-lap runs. On the second run...Mike totally went out of control and wiped out 5 cones...well that's what the people reported...but it was more than 5. The announcer was like "How many cones did he knock over?...we're just gonna give him 5..." That was pretty funny...the whole crowd was like ...wtf? and the announcer was making jokes.
After that first autox...I'm totally addicted. My next one will be this coming weekend hopefully, unless my family decides to goto Tahoe.

At night I went with my family to Tenkyu for dinner with family friends. Going there is always relaxing.
PIECE... of cake.
