Well, where do I start? Today we began in San Francisco (above is the view from our 40th floor cocktail reception) … just imagine Bullitt … that’s the scene (well, in my mind at least) as we drove through the city. We crossed the fogged-over Golden Gate Bridge…

And from there, we headed up to Infineon Raceway (used to be called Sears Point) for a little drag racing … wow, you can’t imagine the sounds and the feeling (and the smell!) of really being there …

But I have to admit the highlight of my day — even after all that really cool drag racing — was the ride in Michael Armand Hammer’s very very rare Cobra up to Napa. This car is unbelievably raw, and insanely fast. It’s like an animal, roaring with speed and downright raw… I just don’t have a better word for it. We hit somewhere between 120 and 130 mph on the roads, and Michael is just a down-to-earth great guy. What an amazing ride…

We topped it off with an even better dinner … more on that tomorrow …
