Sports: Jim Russell Racing Drivers School

Jim Russell Racing Drivers School

On Monday, Infineon Raceway reopens for the season, unveiling a brand new fleet of 30 specially commissioned, Lola-built FJR-50 formula 3 racecars, plus classes that'll teach you to zip around their new, state-of-the-art racetrack at speeds upwards of 200 mph. Start out learning your handling limits, and work up to advanced techniques like passing, drafting, and how to cash fat checks from Big Tobacco.

Eat: Candybar

Candybar

Date-spotted up with deep red upholstered banquettes and hanging Edisons, this finely pedigreed wine bar will offer desserts from an ex-Boulevard/Coi pastry chef, plus savory dishes from a French Laundry vet, e.g., fennel marmalade w/ sweet onion relish, and pork and pistachio terrine. The juice centers on Medeiras, zins, and ports -- for men who like to fall asleep before sex.

Eat: Pigs and Pinot

Pigs and Pinot

Hit this walk-around feast for Pulled Pork Tacos, Wild Boar Sliders w/ Dried Cherry Ketchup, and other piggy offerings cheffed by the likes of Boulevard's Nancy Oakes, South's Luke Mangon, and culinary heavyweights from NYC and Vegas. To wash it down, there'll be 50 mainly-Sonoma pinots; proceeds go to Share Our Strength, though after so much red wine, you won't have much left to give.
