You’re a Good Man, Stanley Young
It was a big birthday weekend as my neighbor, Stan and my old session buddy Thomas celebrated their big days last evening. Since I had RSVP’ed earlier to Stan’s shindig (Sorry Thomas!), I made my way to Rowland Heights for a little auto racing at Speedzone. Time to relive the days of our youth. Here are some pics from the get-together.
The Birthday Circle: Our racing team and pit crew. While Stan is on the top platform as the designated “winner”, Josh snuck his way down into the racing car’s cockpit before I took the shot!
The Fast and Furious 3: Leadfoot Michelle has the inside track on Stan as they enter the final hairpin turn on the Slick Trax course. We enjoyed this track the best, as we rode on it twice!
Sibling Rivalry: Josh (giving the thumbs up) and Stan’s wife, Robin, wait their turn on the Grand Prix course.
Not now, I’m on the phone!: Leave it to Tae to ham it up a little bit for the camera! Kids, let this shot be a lesson to you: Keep your hands on the steering wheel, and not on the cell!
Make a Wish: The birthday dude blows out the candle of his ginormous ice cream cake slice from Claimjumper. By the way, you can pretty much guarantee getting a leftovers box with your meal!
Stan, being a San Francisco 49ers fan, got a lot of team gear as gifts. One notable gift was of course from Robin, who got him a (Hall of Fame QB) Steve Young throwback jersey. As a joke, he said, “They spelled the name wrong (on the back)!”
