As I mentioned in my I-5 Short Course Blitz, I pretty much had a free afternoon by myself on Thursday after we finished at Wilcox Oaks. I went ahead and knocked out Glenn and Arbuckle because they made sense, but then I still had plenty of daylight before I headed to Napa that night. That... Continue Reading →
