    The FIA Ferrai class was awesome. The were a bunch of 250 GTOs. If there is a replay, check it out. It was the most fun I've ever seen the Speed crew have. Any F-chat members there? Anyone watch?

    I hate having a bedtime of a 2 year old. I miss all the cool stuff on Speed. :(

    GREAT, GREAT STUFF!!! The only thing that peeved me off was the 30 sec. commercials every 3 minutes! It took me an hour and a half to just to make a sandwich! Add that to the running back and forth between the kitchen and the living room and I probably lost 5 pounds while trying to eat!

    Oh the sound of those flat 12's.....sends shivers down my spine! I just wish they would have jammed the mic up the tailpipe - the audio sucked!

    Yea, Varsha was saying "listen to those engines" and it sounded like they were in the next COUNTY....LOL!

    I called the gf in to watch the 250GTOs in the corkscrew, with 'that's the most money in one place you'll see in awhile........unless you tour a bank vault'.......

    Hat's off to 'em, for runnin' em! I did see the yellow 250LM, from Phoenix..;)

    If you enjoyed watching it on Speed Channel...it was even better in person. They had something like 22 250 GTO's there, which is the most GTO's in one place at one time (or so they said) Any ways it was an amazing weekend!!!

    It was great, I really enjoyed it. I forgot to tape it, Maybe I just need to look at a TIVO system now. One thing I did notice was the blue 250 GTO, amazing history about that car & it looks alot like the one Carbon sat in almost a year ago.

    I remember the commentator saying that there was $ 200 million
    on the Track when the 250 GTO's were Racing. Absolutely Awesome!

    What a Show! I gotta go to this event.

    It was really cool. 22 is more than half the GTOs ever made (39 IIRC). If only I had known I'd have moved heaven and earth to see them (live).

    Yes the commercials were annoying. There must've been 60 commercial minutes in the two hours. That's Fox for ya.

    On a similar note, Meguire's Car Crazy had Pebble Beach 2004 on today. It will probably be re-broadcast this weekend.

    Rob, those videos of yours are great. Let's me show the guys at work what it was like to be there. Most of them couldn't grasp what 20 Ferrari V-12's sound like or the power of an F1 car. I would say your videos topped the TV show for raw footage and sound.
