My wife works at a private race track in the area. Last year she called me one day to ask about some cars that were brought in on McLaren trucks, and some people who arrived in a helicopter. They weren't allowed to take pictures, so she described the cars to me.

There were what sounded like a handful of McLaren road cars, but the standout car was Senna's 1993 Monaco winning car.

The people in the helicopter, I later learned, were Zak Brown - CEO McLaren Racing, Gil deFerran, and Mario Andretti.

She took Andretti's lunch order at the little counter service café. Said he was very nice.

Before all this happened, I worked part-time at Sonoma Raceway. I haven’t worked any private test days there, since I’m at my day job during the week.

I am itching to get back to a track!
