T12

Yesterday I sat at Turn 12 of the Circuit of the Americas.  Weather was cool and bright, great day to watch the race.

Another view of turn 12.  DRS zone just ahead of the turn,  this is where many good battles were won and fought here.  This definitely is a fanstastic Formula 1 venue and everyone has to at least attend it just once or perhaps more. 

And the after party wasn't bad either with some good music, chill atmosphere and alot of expensive beer.

Texas Holiday '11

This Christmas I made a trip to visit relatives in Houston, Texas.  It's been a very long time since I been to the lone star state.  I have passed by here a few times, but never stopped to see how much has changed.  Growing up in  a military family, we moved around the country numerous times.  One of our stops was Corpus Christi, Texas in the early 80's.  Reagan was elected president and it was all about Cowboys football.
