I'm out of here for today. Man am I tired.

 

dont blame ya..cant wait for the pics..

 

I met Roberto Fata at the Lime Rock Ferrari racing days in 2005 when I was there with Classic Coach Ferrari. Very nice guy, not a bad driver, either.

 

Last Race today right before the big party per Ferrari SPA

They are estmating 50 to 100,000 people being her today
for the racing, the 60th year party and the celebration of
World and Driver Championships.

Time to go back to work

 

Any updates? Sounds like a great party to be at.,.....

Being that the last race is for the World Champion and that the North America Driver don't have
a chance in hell to win, three of the seven drivers did not suit up. The weather was overcast
but the drivers, like most races in Europe, are very hard on the equipment from the battle. Most
of the drivers in the Challenge are Pros and they do do a lot of banging.

Keep in mind that we do have good drivers but our cars are for the USA. Thus less horsepower
and more weight. Our drivers are at the end of the grid because of times. Therefore no chance
in h*** that they will win.

After the finale race, the F1 team put on a show. Besides the driving show a pit stop was thrown
in for good measure. The crowd went crazy but the best thing was the sound of the motors.
All over the track you could hear them whine. Such a sweet sound.

In Paris on my way home.

Seven thousand more images to work through and that to monza, then you (I'm) looking at ten thousand
to work thru. Will have them up soon.

 

Sounds like a fantastic time - sorry I missed it this year. My question would be, does the Challenge in the US not have both catagories as it does in Europe? We watched both Challenge groups at Monza in April and big difference between them.

Glad you had a good time! Can't wait for photos.

post some pics

 

I'm back in the USA. I will try my darnest not to fly into Philly again. It has the worse custom system I've ever been in.

The US Challenge has only one class. They are not suppose to be any pro drivers as competators and are suppose to own
the car that they are driving. Not the same in the rest of the world.

My bag is missing and it has the hard drive with all the images in it. Hopefully it will be in Houston when I get there late
tonight. Will keep you informed

 

Damn, nice job Roberto! See you at the track when you get back...might be time to move upto a 430gt

 

Here are a few images that where still in the camera. My bag was found still in Paris and I sould get it
sometime tomorrow.

Go to www.partypics.com and inter code: Italy

There are fifty images at this time. More after the files come in.

Carol - take a look at the new entry at Mugello. You might get a kick out of it.

 

A leg man eh?

Nice shots.. what is the story behind the pile of car bits on the ground?

 

What a terrific entry - a helmet ! !

Sorry about your adventures in getting home. We've been via Philly before, worst custom entry point this year honors goes to Detroit. You must have had one heck of a good fare not to go direct to HOU from CDG!

Photos are great, can't wait to see the rest. Your photos are always top notch quality.

Thanks,
Carol

 

That was just one of many piles around the track from cars going off.

Thanks Carol, I'm glad you enjoy them. More to come as soon as I get my
Bag from US Air. They say I should have it tomorrow and yes the fare was
very good.

Bruce

 

Sounds spensive. Glad you had a great time.

 

Great shots Bruce... Great to see Tucker in a couple of those podium shots!

 

I have not forgot, the luggage just came in from Paris and I'm working on getting the
images to my clients. I will start putting them online very soon. Sorry for the delay.
I have put up images from the SARA event at Monza, that was the week before the
Mugello contest.

I will let you know when the new stuff is up.

 

Scott Tucker is FastCash, right?
From Texas? Also runs SCCA with a 430?

 

Tucker's number at Mugello is 455. There are a number of images of
him and his car to come

 

Correct... He drives for us in IMSA GT3 Challenge also...
