Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / May 2005WTF?
If you people don't begin posting something in here I'm going to start packaging up my roommate's dog's poop and mail it to all of you. He's a big dog. And he eats a lot. (I'm the one picking it up). And I thought I lived in the desert. You guys are flatlined.

I've been busy entertaining a longtime friend all weekend. He flew up from the South to visit and we had a blast. Friday we hit National Trail Raceway for a day of drag racing (easy Duffin, easy now). We all got a facefull of nitromethane fumes when John Force fired up his car in his pit, clearing the whole area in a matter of seconds. It was nice to go there again after a couple years off, but the toothless drunk loudmouths make it kind of a pain in the a.s. 7000hp Top Fuel cars are fun to see, hear, and feel though... Pro Stock Bike is always a treat as well. Saturday was Mid-Ohio for the Speedvision WC GT race. Our personal favorite driver had mechanical failure early on, but she started strong and had to pull a killer move to avoid a 5-car pileup at the start. Star Mazda and Formula BMW were okay, not that interesting to watch until the drivers started taking risks to pass later in the race. ALMS qualifying and practice was very cool. Say what you want about the MC12 being a tarted-up Enzo, I liked it. As usual the Corvettes were the loudest, the Vipers and Porsches sounded eerily similar, and the Saleen S7 and Panoz sounded like Mustangs with open exhaust. Looked cooler though... The Audi prototypes have the weirdest popping noise as they bounce off the limiter to make the pit road speed limit. They're almost like a huge two stroke the way they sound. No Lamborghini this year, and I never saw the Risi Ferrari 360. Strange... The Maserati guys were everywhere and there was a Coupe and a Quattroporte available for inspection. The Coupe still does it for me although I really wish they had kept the hockey-stick taillights. I love the basso profundo roar of that engine. Sunday was a trip back to where I grew up to visit family and take my friend on a tour of our old haunts that have been revamped, removed, etc. There you go, no dog poop for me. -Matt- "..."

Said driver also shared much Mexican food and beer with us late into the evening after the race. As usual a good time was had by all. -Matt- "..." <<Said driver also shared much Mexican food and beer with us late into the evening after the race.

Imagine how much fun we would have had if I'd actually finished the race! Try again at Cleveland?

If I could break the date for the vintage races I would... You're just killing me with guilt here, you realize... ;-) In other news we've been researching a trip to Monterey, among other things. Actually many other things. You might see us again sooner than we thought. -Matt- "..." <<If I could break the date for the vintage races I would...>> Is your calendar broken? Did you not see the date was already taken by my race?? <<You're just killing me with guilt here, you realize... >> Guilt? I don't do guilt. Of course, you should really be ashamed of yourself for insulting our friendship this way. <<In other news we've been researching a trip to Monterey, among other things. Actually many other things. You might see us again sooner than we thought.>> Hey, hey! Lemme know as soon as you can. I need to book rooms and can hook you up at the same place we stay at if you're coming.

I'll have to try a bottle some time, always did like the RedHot. -Matt- "..." matt borland wrote: > "Nino Barlini" <nino@grandprix.net> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > -Matt- "..." Frank's is awesome, and it's not that hot. My roommate turned me on to it, and he's one of those who would drop a whole dried chipotle into his own bowl of chili, so I thought it would be searing hot, but it's not. Very tasty. I had just about lost my taste for the hot stuff when I moved down here, but Kelly is a gourmet cook with an affinity for the heat. I've learned quite happily that there are all kinds of hotness out there - not just the kind that surprises you when you bite into a street-vendor burrito, your tongue falls out, smoke starts pouring out of your a.s, and the fire department shows up. Quick Ferrari question - is the 333SP still being raced?

Too busy to check in! T308 (Who looked at a rust bucket GTE on Saturday and went to Texas on it...

If so I'll be dropping you a line when we're there, maybe grab a bite or at least spend some time sneering at the Renault team. A GTE would be very cool...
