Got back to NY tonight. Feels good to be home.

I may have to fly to Miami Beach for a business meeting this Thu and Friday. I may stay for the weekend

I've posted some snapshots from sunny California:

California Speedway

Great Nextel Cup Auto Club 500 race. Greg Biffle won, and he is 2 for 3. The Roush Racing team (which Crown Royal sponsors) is doing great.



I have a flight in the late afternoon tomorrow, won't get into NYC until past midnight. Probably won't make it home till 2 am or so.

Hi from California Speedway.

I just watched the American Racing Wheels 200 truck series, fun. I can't believe how fast these trucks go, over 170 mph.



Kind of a long day. We got new brand ambassadors, trained them. They did good. We didn't get much of a crowd today, so it served as a good training session. I'm sure it will be a lot more crowded tomorrow.

The drive from the airport yesterday took forever. I hit rush hour L.A. traffic. Unbelievable, a plethora of highways crisscrossing, all completely jammed.

Just posted a few pics from the Daytona trip. You can check them out here:

Just got back home. The flight from Florida to NY got delayed a few times due to bad weather in NY. It's cold out, snow everywhere . It was 80 in Daytona Beach this afternoon.

I've decided I need to oversee at least the Fontana and Vegas races to make sure things get moving smoothly. I fly to LAX Thu morning.

The whole crew was sick and exhausted this morning. I think I managed to escape it. Actually I haven't been sick in years. I can't even remember the last time I had to stay home bc of being sick.

Going to grab something to eat.
