Well, today was the first day of New Orleans' French Quarter Classic. 8) They held the track event today...and holy shit was it amazing!
I would estimate they had at least 100 Ferraris there, maybe more...
When we got there...holy shit guys it was intense! It was way out in the middle of no where...but we could hear the scream of the 360GTs from about a mile away. 8) I have never seen that many Ferraris in my life...it was absolutely amazing. Many more cars than I was expecting! :D Around 11am they wheeled out the F1 car (F399 I think) and started it up. Holy shit that thing is loud...and fast too lol.
They also had a pair of Lamborghini Murcielago GTs which were running the track for pretty much the whole day. That is the loudest car I have ever heard...louder than the F1 car even. 8) :P It was also incredibly fast and the driver was a pro. They pretty much ran cars straight from when we got there to when we left...there were only a few minutes of silence the entire day! :D ;)
About 30mins before we left I got my ride on the track!!! :D 8) A really nice guy gave me a ride in his 328GTS...holy crap it was sweeet! 8) I was pretty cramped in there...6'2" with a helmet on...haha, but damn it was fun. We came up to the entrance to the track and he asks:
"Have you ever been in a Ferrari?"
"No, never."
Then he did a really nice launch and damn it sounded great! 8) I was not expecting it to be as fast as it was, he was really hustling it around the track...so much fun! Wow, that was awesome...and tomorrow is the Concorso! So more pics to come! 8)
Me in the 328 just before we went out! :D
