    There are 5 cars coming from Denver including the Famous Roland Linder with his F40 LM.

    There is a local playboy Dentist in town that edited the Logo into the photo.

    Haha yes I know Hollywood Roland is coming with his buddies.

    Don't deflect the attention. Your ploys are transparent. I know what I read up there. I saw the E word.

    The 606HP Spider?

    Brutal. Sick. Addictive.

    Giving it throttle was like a detonation. Intoxicating power on demand. Civil and well-behaved at normal driving speeds, yet when requested, the engine barked like a shotgun and the world became a blur.

    No spooling obviously like in a turbo. Just constant, angry pull.

    The suspension was crazy too. For a car so low, I thought I would be bouncing around and bottoming out. Instead, it was level, firm, with no bounce. Just planted, like I was in a go-kart.

    It was a completely different car from what I'm used to. I can now see why the Murcie couldn't outrun you. No comparison to a stock 360. I'm a bit scared to find out what those upgrades are worth. I'll see if we can drop by this weekend and have a chat.

    So, the only part I will be able to attend of this great event would be between 1:00 and 5:00 on Friday? The rest seems to be private. I would be very very interested in taking photos of the cars but I assume it will be very crowded during these times. I imagine the car display at Eau Claire is open to the public, perhaps there would be better photo oppurtunities there?

    The Enzo will not be on display at the Eau Claire Market. It will be only at the track event.

    Rats. I was really looking forward to seeing the Enzo in real life. Oh well, I shouldn't really complain, it should still be amazing.

    If you come to the track you will see it live and in action. We do have quarter mile drags as well and a lot of the exotic car owners will attempt to see what their cars can do.

    That sounds absolutely terrific. Ever since I first saw a picture of the Enzo my dream has been to see one in person. Personally, I have never heard a Ferrari (or any exotic supercar, for that matter) open the throttle right up in real life and to hear and see and Enzo pushing the limits I'm sure would be something I will remember for many years to come.

    which track? I might be able to go, I need twenty bucks though. Anyone want to lend me twenty bucks that I will probably never pay you back?

    So the way I read it, is that for the track day, if you pay the twenty dollar fee, it only intitles you to 1 - 5 pm? So that means you cant go to the cock tail reception, or the eau clair car show, or the causual attire dinner?

    Race City. Of course you are lucky that for $ 20 you get to see and hear the Horses and the Bulls. You will have no choice but to find the $ 20 or else you will miss the event of a lifetime.

    BTW no coktails or dinner.

    One more post -- just for complete clarification.

    I should show up at Race City at 1:00 PM to watch some track action. This will cost me $20.00 and last until 5:00 PM at which time I can go home and eat supper. And then, at 7:30 there is a display of the cars at Eau Claire, which I imagine is open to the public and would cost no extra money?

    Sorry for being a bother, it's just that I cannot afford to miss this :) - Tanner

    The track is where you have to pay to hear the sounds of symphony from the Italian metal and of course the Enzo.

    At the Eau Claire its free on display and no sounds. The Enzo will not be at Eau Claire but tons of other beautiful cars.

    Well look who it is!

    I definitely want to go to this event, I will be coming out from Canmore. I want to see the car at the Banff Springs again, they were there a few weeks ago and the picture on the front page of our local newspaper was stunning.

    Anyone else heading out for sure?

    2Nastie...Do you have someone to cover the event, like for pictures and stuff? Would you be giving out any 'press' passes at all?
