Welcome to another edition of Studio819, races in review. This time around we travelled to Sonoma, CA which is known for two things:

There we go, racing (with alcohol sponsorship) God bless Corona for helping to keep me sane with the heat and the area making my allergies go off the scale. Thursday practice saw temps clear 100 degrees in the air and 142 on the track. And people think I have a glamourous or enviable job.

Taylor Knapp and Michael Beck battled all weekend long. In the end Beck beat Knapp

Spies had his turn in the hot seat this weekend winning back to back at Infineon. Mladdin's post race comments were hotter however.

The Redbull Rookie Cup was in town also for this round. Some really nasty crashes happened at the track drawing the red flag before the end of the race.

Ultimately, THE race of the weekend was Superstock (in my opinion) with a fierce battle for the podium.

Holden took the win and proceeded to give us yet another performance
