2012 Backblaze Malibu Grand Prix Day (8/24/2012)

On Friday, 8/24/2012 most of Backblaze took the day off and went to Malibu Grand Prix to race little cars and play putt putt "miniature" golf.  Damon and Tim were not there.  Below are some pictures from the day.  The first picture below we are all in line getting our drivers licenses checked.

The lineup of most of us.  Brian White (SBrian) took this picture so he isn't in the picture.  He is in the orange shirt (sunglasses on head) in the picture above this picture.  From left to right that is Malibu Grand Prix employee, Brian Wilson (holding helmet), Ben Villatore, Cecilia Luu, Casey (KC) Christensen, Adam Nelson, Chris Grace, Gleb Budman, Dave Stallard, Casey Jones (wearing "cloud" T-shirt), Andy Klein, Natalie Poulton (marketing intern), Yev Pusin (red checkered shorts), Sean Harris (red T-shirt), Billy Ng, and Ken Manjang on the far right.

Cecilia Luu is ready to race.

Natalie Poulton (intern) is thumbs up.  This is Natalie's last day of her internship at Backblaze.

Billy races towards the finish line in his "police" car.

I think this is Sean Harris.

Definitely Sean Harris just over the finish line going for another lap.

Yev Pusin just after crossing the finish line.

Chris Grace, sliding around the final corner.

Brian Wilson in trusty car number 6.

Ken Manjang ripping it up.

Andy Klein walking out of the driving area.

Ben Villatore (third best time of the day).

After racing, we took a pizza break.

The final race times came in and Gleb Budman (below left in hat and sunglasses) was the fastest time (57.1 seconds?), Adam Nelson second place (57.6 seconds), and Ben Villatore third place (58.1 seconds).

After lunch we played a round of putt putt miniature golf.  Below Dave Stallard prepares to putt.

Adam putts while Ben looks on.

Andy Klein putting.

All done!
