My parents had mentioned some weeks ago about us being invited to some car race event. They’re unfamiliar with car racing, and with the language barrier they weren’t able to tell me whether this is a drag race, a Nascar race, a go-cart race, or what. I asked what the track looked like, for clues. Was it just round and circular? My dad said no, it’s windy, and the cars skid around the curves and that’s the point. It sounds like a “Tokyo drift” race.

I got an email from my mom today that said she and my dad were offered tickets to some car race this Saturday, along with special parking. A family friend works as the publicist for these race events, so there are certain VIP privileges. I assume these are good seats. All I know is that my parents will be in San Diego this weekend and won’t make the race, and that the race is at Long Beach, and we should be able to get in at 10:00 a.m.. So now I’m thinking that it’s the Long Beach Grand Prix? There’s also some big race in Buena Park in October that we’re going to have VIP rooms for.

*shrug* I guess I’ll pick up the tickets tonight when I pick up our passports and visas for our China trip. Hopefully the tickets will have event information on them.
