Porsche Club of America Annual Party

Golden Gate Lotus Club's Annual Anti-Football Drive
Had a blast at GGLC's Annual Anti-Football Drive on January 30, 2016. Drove down the 35, had lunch at Rock Bottom Brewery, then took a tour of the Mummy Museum! Blogpost.
Pitcrew for Formula Car Challenge
Jon pitcrewed for Ten Pedal Motorsports at Formula Car Challenge, Laguna Seca. He learned how to do string alignments! Blogpost.
Team Trip to Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix
We closed the shop on a Friday and took the team to Monterey. BBQ'ed for a night, and then went to the Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix the next day. We played games, got some free swag, and saw some cool cars. Was nice being at Laguna Seca for a real event for once. Blogpost.
Lotus Lunch at the Shop
Had a couple Lotus guys meet for lunch at the shop. Blogpost.
All-Day Drive with Lotus Crew
That one time we did an 8-hour roundtrip spirited drive (10 hours with stops and lunch). Blogpost.
GoKarting at Sonoma Raceway
We went outdoor karting at Simraceway Performance Karting Center - Sonoma Raceway.
SEMA 2016
Our annual team trip to SEMA this year was awesome. We played a lot of games, got a lot of free swag, Son tested out Miller's crazy welder and met his sponsor, we ate at a bunch of buffets, we won a lot of money at the casinos, oh and our photo below won us a free Hunter wheel balancer! Blogpost.

The machine we won :)
Hatchback BBQ
We had a BBQ on the racetrack for Jon's birthday and we came back with tons of leftovers. So that entire week, we BBQ'ed for lunch. But it was so hot, we started using our hatchbacks for shade.
25 Hours of Thunderhill
Team's first time pitcrewing for this 25-hour endurance race (except for Jon). We were on Team Lotus Cup USA - PB Racing and it was an intense experience! Blogpost.
