We'll let you borrow a slightly more stable 4 seater if you really need one:

It has around 300 WHP, All-Wheel Drive, STi suspension, STi front brakes, STi control arms/lateral links, and 18 lbs. of boost on tap.
I know it's not a Ferrari, but neither is a Ford.

Is anyone still going 2 bring their f-cars to infineon today? If not r u going in default vehicles? R we still supposed 2 meet in San ramon this am and bring food? I was under the impression that about half r not going and half may b going with other vehicles. At this point I'm still going,but likely leaving around 10 am or so 2 wait out the weather 2 see if I can bring the f-car.

 

Frefan, Riverflyer and I will be there with our cars (575, 996TT & F430).

It's a no go for the group.

Weather issue.

 

Phfuuuft Mondial T, which will be there --unfortunately top up in rain --- has that kind of HP

Brian and Rob dropping off the T from a new alternator

got new grills installed, metal, not plastic, and can't wait to see her.

456 will be there too.

Of course, we live in Sonoma so much easier......stopping by Glorias to make sure Brian has his wine......

rik see ya there about 11/noonish

Nice Friday pictures. It must be exciting to see them charging hard in the rain. I plan to bring my 308 on Sunday..

 

Raining. Don't want to watch in the rain, came home after playing at the airport. Maybe tomorrow.

Which A/P and what were you doing?

 

San Rafael. It's a private airport, just behind the civil center.

Working on getting the insulation ordered for the hanger.

What do you have for an A/P?

 

Just came back from infineon. Got to see the finals of 430 challenge,drum brakes,disc brakes. Highlight 4 me is always the sheer sound of the 512 BB LM's going down the back straight. best sounding f-car IMHO not including f1's. I only saw 4 ferrari parked in the lot, a 90's TR, kevin's blue 430, I believe 2 other later model (430 or 360), and a black granturismo. No one brought their f-cars out due 2 the rain. On the schedule 4 2morrow, what is the customer parade lap?

 

Rik Granucci's Mondial T was there.

But who wanted to come o0ut in the rain?

Now go watch the Fight!

 

Rode up with Rob and his 2 boys and followed Brian up with Rick's Mondial T. Had a fun time IN THE RAIN. Had to take my pics from WAY UP in the grand stands to keep from getting my camera wet. Haven't downloaded 'em yet. Brian, Rick and Bo, it was a pleasure to meet you and hang out. Great Times.

 

I was there. Too bad about the Ferrari Corral today.

I did find a nice black Scuderia with no stripe and gold rims in the midst of the "normal" cars.

A dozen of us made it up today despite the rain and had a good day.

I was up there today. The rain in the morning wasn't that fun, but at least it took a break after lunch. I got a lot of pictures to add to my to-do list.

 

I have over 2,000 images to sort through, but that's what tonight and tomorrow is for...

...it's just unfortunate we're not allowed to hotlink to the site, or I'd have a couple hundred images. I'll post up a link to a gallery that will be created tomorrow afternoon - it'll have the photos.

 

Michelotto 308 collides with 250 GTO in practice (this the missing headlight and red duct tape)

Saw a friend of mine who has a 430 ride, came in 6th, but first place in the cool evil joker graphics contest.

overall, despite the rain, it was a great day.

Here is a link to a video that I made at the event yesterday. Video starts off by showcasing the two red 599 GTB Fioranos under the tent and the all black 599 GTB Fiorano outside the tent. Then, I move on to the black 430 Scuderia and then some on-track and garage footage of the F430 Challenge Cars. Got some good sound clips from the F430 Challenges in the garage.

Here's the link:

Cool Vid GB and nice pics everyone! Bummed I had to miss it.

 

it's been raining all weekend and I don't feel sorry for you,is that sandels in the back ground

 

Went for about an hour with xsssive, wasn't planning on going on Sunday so we had limited time due to the long drive back in the rain. We were cars #2 & 3 to show up in the corral; shortly thereafter a bunch more showed up, maybe 30 or more? Weather was very nice and had just enough time to take a couple pics.
