Some of you might know that my 6 year old son and I are taking a road trip this summer from Vancouver, Canada, to the Monterey Historics.

We've never been to the area at that time of year, but are planning to take part in a BMW Car show on Friday August 14, then catch the races on saturday and sunday.

The San Francisco Formula 1 Group take two.

Last night found me with "The San Francisco Formula 1 Group" enjoying Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel's and Mark Webber's one two finish of the Chinese Grand Prix.

This may be the largest gathering of Formula-1 fans to watch the race in the states.
