Saturday, I went to the Sonoma Historic Race at Infineon Raceway. I hadn't been there since I raced the Cougar Mountain Classic downhill race in 2007 on the hill above the track. The course is now pretty overgrown, but the bench cut sections can still be seen from below.

When we got there at about noon on Saturday, it was pouring. There were some cars on the track for a bit, but they soon came in. Later, the rain slowly stopped and the sky started showing signs of clearing up, but it looked like dark clouds over the bay would soon bring more rain. I first got some shots of one group's qualifying when I walked up to a hill above the track. Most drivers in the next few groups up for qualifying didn't seem to show up. We watched an Audi S4 do lots of laps. Then a Lamborghini Gallardo came onto the track. Eventually, a group of cars showed up for qualifying including an Orange Mclaren M8 F/1. After that, cars came onto the track for a cruiser lap before the day was over. On our way home, it started raining again.
