If you don’t know what the tickets in the photo are all about, well, it’s vintage auto racing. If you don’t like Ferraris or Formula Junior Lotus racecars, this is probably not your scene. However if you’d like to find out what this is all about, here’s a primer:

Watching the racing is a blast but the paddock will be open for folks to freely wander and talk to the owners, drivers, mechanics, etc. You not only get to see the cars race, but you get real deal sights and smells. It’s really something above and beyond a car show. These folks are racing to win — in cars you can’t buy parts for.
I’m going on Saturday, and I have these for Sunday and I won’t be using them. If you’d like them, they’re all yours. You just need to help me get them to you.
I live in Alameda and work by the SF Giants stadium. Happy to pop them in the mail too.
If you think you’ll use them shoot me an email. Oppo at noops dot *org* will reach me.

I’ve had extra tickets to nearly every race at Sonoma this year and it’s been a full time job trying to find people to use them. I’ve had a couple co-workers go to drag racing. Had people pass on both NASCAR and Indy Car. I boggles my mind.
If you feel like taking a weekend trip this week to the Bay Area, they’re all yours!

Thanks! Wish I could take you up on it. We were actually out there for our anniversary this summer (Sonoma & Grand Canyon). I did have to at least drive by and get a selfie at the entrance to the track. My sister lives in Oakley (and my brother used to live in Merced). I really need to plan a week+ trip out to visit her family and add in a day at Sonoma and a day at Laguna Seca...

I’d be happy to pick you up from the airport in the M5, as anyone who dailies their M3 shouldn’t be cruelly subjected to a Prius taxicab the moment they get to the Bay Area. That’d be plain mean.

Haha - thanks. But was thinking I should just drive the 1700 miles each way so I can earn my track outline sticker for my car on both tracks!
