All those beautiful pictures and not one serial number... Tsk, tsk, tsk...

 

Great Shots Ron! Be sure to toss some on the Rampage site for all to enjoy!

 

sorry for being a "noob", but what's the yellow loop on the back of the car for?

 

Ron, do you have hi-res pics?

 

Tow

 

You mean nitrogen for the air jacks, or another use? How do the air jacks retract?

Thanks so much. Was the FOH car there?

yes of course nitrogen for the airjacks, you would never get enough pressure from air to hold them.

you attach the hose, open the bottle, it lifts the car , you place jack stands (they fit around the airjack stand) and release the hose, or just turn off the valve, in the jacks will return to normal recessed state.

Great pics! I wish I could have been there

 

Haha, does that black car have a giant picture of the driver's face on the hood?

 

nice pics. thanks for sharing.

i have a question.

these are race-prepped 430s , but in a one make race.

how would they perform against , eg , GT3 / Cup cars ?
.

 

A 430GT just one the season opener at Silverstone. Beat out Porsche GT3s, Z06s, and Aston Martins.

A few of us from SoCal made the trek up to Sonoma and attended the event. Ferrari also hosted a special client track clinic for three days. It was a blast!

 

That's the same thing I was wondering, reminds me of those huge t-shirts people wear with a persons face on them.

 

Not unless Bob Dylan was driving the car.

John Horejsi, who is the driver, has decorated his car with original airbrushed portraits of various figures from music and films. For the past few races his hood was decorated with the Jack Nicholson character from "The Shining", almost guaranteed to make the car in front move over when that face appears in his mirror.

The young Bob Dylan which debuted at Infineon will last for only one or two more races, to be replaced by something new. (I've been pushing for Jerry Garcia.)
