We had a fun little drive up South Mountain and then to the Copperstate 1000 on Sunday. I saw lots of cameras...... How about a few pics...
Video from inside Dino's CS! Thanks again, Dino! Always a fun time! [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2bHA3Z3jog&feature=share[/ame]
Nice Ashwin! We should have put the Go-Pro on the back of my car as I wasn't that far behind and ahead of me was a beautiful testarossa. I think we could have had some cool footage as the TR and myself played a great game of cat and mouse. Since I need to repaint the front bumper/spoiler anyway I don't mind closing in tight. I'm sure Dennis was probably thinking I was going to plow him a few times LOL! This was a great little drive even with the joggers on the road. Stacy and myself had a good time and the 348 ran fantastic as usual. I think it should also be mentioned that Gary Simon of Scottsdale Ferrari was kind enough to get up early and provide a nice breakfast of Coffee, bagels and OJ at the dealership for all of us before we departed......Thankyou Gary!
here are a few of my pics from up top on South Mtn. Not great quality but all i had with me was my trusty iphone. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks John! It was nice to meet Stacy too! I didn't know where to put the Go-Pro, but I wanted to capture the sound properly. I haven't seen the video, Matt tried uploaded it to YouTube yesterday and it was too long of a video. Great pictures, I'll have to get working on those soon, though I only took a few on the top.
Now I feel bad I missed it. We pushed it and barely made it to the start on time. Sunday mornings are so tough. Great pics!

Dino & I said the same thing! That road is incredibly fun! I started recording too late but you can still see it at the ending.
Yeah, but you have to get up early if I'm planning the drive. We actually have a dinner planned for Wed night. You are welcome to come. Its at La Toretta at 6:30 Great pictures guys, and a fun morning
That looked like a great turnout and a stunning morning on top of South Mountain. Maybe next time... I would have loved to join for the dinner but just got home from a quick trip to SF...next time! Glad to see you active in the, err, activites role! Good stuff...now for a track day!! Oh, on that note, I'm going to ProAutoSports at Firebird Main a week from tomorrow for the full day. $170 gets 8x20 minute sessions (if you run red and orange)...and I'm going to the May 12 Bondurant "track day" (and maybe the sunday may 13 one too if it turns out to be cool and they still have room). Hope to see some of you guys out there!
The Pantera Club of America is having their national meet next week, with a track day on Thursday. They invited the FCA to join them. We can do the whole day for $200, or their lunch hour for $25.
Here are some pictures, I've been sick and have been really lazy to upload them. Enjoy! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wow that's a beautiful sound. What is the cabin noise like (difficult to judge in video)? Can you speak to one another when the engine is at higher revs?
The sound in the video is louder than what it sounds like in person, Dino's CS sounds incredible and it's a sound that's really hard to capture on video. You can speak to each other but it's kind of difficult and you have to talk a bit louder, though I let Dino focus on the road for those crazy brave joggers running towards us on blind corners!
love that 3rd pic Agup. looking at the sun glare on the side mirror lighting up the door correction, 4th pic. also, that scenery pic has an awesome vintage look!
That sounds great...anywhere on the web I can read about the event? (just wondering how many cars they will have out there and "how" they will run (rules, groups, etc). Given that I already paid for Friday with PAS, I may only do the lunch hour...
