Several weeks ago my parents came up for a visit. I had kept my eyes and ears peeled for something new and exciting for us to do during their visit, and that's how I learned about the first annual Concours d'fromage held at Laguna Seca raceway. The event had an all-you-can-drink/eat wine (5 wineries) and cheese (15 cheese makers) tasting on Saturday night, benefiting Heifer International. We gorged on wine and cheese; a fun and filling time was had by all!
Our ticket to the Concours d'fromage got us into the special electric car & motorcycle races held at Laguna Seca the next day. We showed up early enough to get a good look at many of the homemade, prototype, and expensive factory electric vehicles before they hit the raceway. Bill and Dad had fun talking to the technicians tinkering with their electric cars.
After the races, we got an up close & personal look at one of the Teslas at the raceway. Dad chatted up the owner, who then asked Dad if he wanted to take a quick ride in the Tesla.
Here is how that part of the conversation went:
Owner: "Would you like t..."
Dad: "Yes!"
And off they went!
Dad came back from his ride in the Tesla with a giant grin plastered on his face. Yay!
