Last weekend at Sears Point was the Ferrari Challenge race for the 430's. It was pretty cool. Not a lot going on other than that race so I won't bore you with pictures of cars we've all seen a million times (God know there were plenty of those there) so here are some pictures of the other race cars that were there.
Oh, and driving out of the parking lot, everyone was checking out the 914 - at an f'ing Ferrari event! The best was trying to make a left back onto the highway. Some ramrod pulls off of the road and blocks my vision so I can't see oncoming traffic. I look the other way, and when I turn back, he is out of the car taking pictures of my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I don't know what in the hell he thought he was looking at, but whatever. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached image(s)

Ferrari F50 GT1 - Only three were ever completed and this is chassis #0001. Never raced. I was lucky enough to get there as it was being pulled into its spot, man did that car sound sweet.

Interesting transaxle arrangement. It appears that the transxle sits UNDER the engine by the looks of that chain cover at the bellhousing. Is this to accomadate all wheel drive? Not up to speed on Ferrari tech these days.??
