By Jarod DeAnda, July 21, 2009

This weekend was a blast!
Filled with cool cars, good times and memories for miles around Road America in Wisconsin…. Thanks to everybody who was part of the experience…Especially Vaughn Gittin Jr. for having me part of his shows…

We heard Huey Lewis & The News all weekend ipod and radio both… It’s how we do!
Heart of Rock & Roll!!!!

Peace out PHX Sky Harbor, airplanes meets Frank Lloyd Wright at the airport, radical!

My travel kit to Wisconsin…
Sailor Jerry “sneak”, Hi Chew’s from Japan and some fresh cookies on Mid West airlines haha

Here’s a tease of plenty more images…
I’m not posting as regular due to traveling but when I do they’re hopzingers, doozies, whizbangers, etc…

Nice sunset entering Milwaukee if you took out the wing and the engine!

Insert Jerry Lewis voice… “Hey pretty lady….” Welcome to Sheboygan…

So we hit Road America Elkhart Lake, WI…
Vintage racing, race cars, awesome cars + The Vaughn Gittin Jr “Smoke Show” drift demo, MC’ed by yours truly…
Now on with some cars and less text…



Yes this car was sponsored by Crystal Pepsi remember that? haha

















Just put the gold medal over there somewhere….

My favorite car of the weekend I think… well at least top 10 haha


The business end…

Wind it up!







Such a clean 510…

Oh yeah we’re here to drift!!!!!!!

Green means go…

Good food and a beer for lunch…

So on Friday after the event a BUNCH of the cars including JR and DVDB’s Ford Mustang cars were displaying in the town of Elkhart Lake, it’s tradition… place was packed…
Check it out, streets were lined with people and SICK cars….

JR always lighting up the Falken Tires…




“Gay” Andy was my roommate, sidekick and constant complainer the whole weekend, we had some good times…

Beer:30…

See told ya…

We both love Family Guy!

Beers!

Mickey and the brown bear…

Uh oh!

Local beer, never had it not bad…

So off to a legendary bar called Siebkens “The Last Open Bar”
Stickers, helmets, race legends, it was pretty cool…
We made our mark…


DA & DTA

Saturday @ the track…

Caught a front shot of that clean 510….
Love it!

Clean Porsche…

JR and Doug Van Den Brink tore up the karting track for ride alongs…
Good times…

This Aston was sick…

This Citroen is so goofy and cool especially with the bikes up top…

Andy got in my shot and I got in his, haha

No caption needed!

I got to drive the newly debuted Ford Raptor, this thing is sweet!
I actually lead a FORD MUSTANG cruise on the 4 mile track, check it out….
JR was behind us while we grabbed some snaps on video and still….

Those are all Mustangs following me in the RAPTOR…
Pretty cool!






“Yeah, we’re awesome”

We “high fived” all the Mustang owners out of the track, my hand was tired haha

Dinner…

Sunday/Last Day on the track, finally shut Andy up!

This is B.S. Levy and he’s an author, writer, historian and a good guy..
Especially since he gave me a signed copy of his book that I’ll read.
I see this book has a cult following and it’s a series, I’m eager to read it, pass it on and get it known on our world…





First saw this bike being ridden by a 4 person family…

Then saw it shortly after with no people, it’s SWEET!

DTA all day…

As the sun sets at Road America the beer gets colder…

Sign says it all…

Time to eat…

This sweet ride of rides was out front…AKA White Out


Somebody swoop it up please…

Hats at the airport…
Standard “cheesehead”…

Cheese New Era fitted…

U of W Badger hats….

This will be on my signature hoodie next season, who’s designing this for me…

Peace Milwaukee and Wisconsin…

Hello PHX, AZ…. Home sweet home!
