Thursday
"Days go by fast, flew into Sacramento on Tuesday morning, hit SanFrancisco yesterday with the kids, took them to a couple of places. Ate at Pietro's #1 on Cernon Street in Vacaville, CA -- Awesome food if you are in the area, stop by."

I agree that Pietro's has great food. Ate there when I lived in Vacaville. Originally Posted by slightlywickedchick

I don't know where as the old part of downtown is like three blocks long. Originally Posted by Chassisman

KJ isn't alone in getting local places to sponsor him. A LOT of teams run local sponsors per race, you just don't see the decals much among all the others. It is really common to see a local Holiday Inn, or other hotel. The Pedregons did it forever on the west coast with Vegas hotels as well.
Of course the biggest "local" sponsor out there right now is the Mountain View Tire entry of Vincent Nobile. Mountain View Tire is a local Goodyear tire chain out here in my neighborhood. They compete with Discount Tire and America's Tire (same place, different states) as well as all the other tire chains. There are 30 or so locations. The Mitsos who own it are awesome. Totally nice normal people who live about 3 miles from us. Nick and his sons really run the business and you'll see them at different locations depending on when you go in.
Not exactly the same as a small pizza joint, but still a local family owned business which is way cool."A cross thread is better than a lock washer." Earl Lanning...My Grandpa
