Outstanding artwork, Jim. You have a very developed talent.

BTW, the Ferrari you ask us to identify is (I think) the famous 250 SWB Berlinetta, made from 1958-1964. They were available with either Lampredi or Colombo engines and were the forerunners of the famous GTO and LWB "TdF" Ferraris. A good example of a 250 SWB can be worth about $10 million USD today.

SWB = short wheel base
LWB = long wheel base
TdF = Tour de France, which was a CROWD-designated name, not a Ferrari designated name. The TDF was a LWB which debuted by winning the TdF and immediately earned that nickname.

^^This man does not miss a beat.


Frank, I hope you have begun training your successors. Not saying that you're leaving anytime soon, but eventually you're going to run out of hard drive space in that noggin of yours!

Frank at the rate you are going Filipe will always be skinny . . . . from running to catch you. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Anyone else get startled by the State Trooper shooting his Lazer just outside the park? He must get a lot of amped up drivers coming out of the park.

I waved to him and he waved back. He was a local cop in an old used State Police car with the big "cow horn" push bars on the front bumper. If you didn't zee him long enough to read his door decals, he looked like a State Trooper.

I had route 7 completely to myself, all the way from LRP down to New Milford. :twisted: Twisting along with the riverside to my left and my pipes echoing off the hillside to my right, I spent a lot of time in lower gears than I needed to, just to hear the blast and snarl at speed. :mrgreen: :thumbs_up:

When I got to Vinny's there was a mini-convention of CTZCC members there in Series-1 cars!

It was a good day, all around.

On board cam from my car... near the back of the pack.

Was trying to imagine the 'racing line'.

Man I wish I had made the trip! I was expecting a bunch of parts on Saturday...only to find out that the guy shipped them on saturday :roll: I did manage to get pulled over all by myself for "terrorizing the neighborhood" trying to get a video of my straight pipes :oops: Sounds like it was a great time!

Notice @ 0:56 on Justin's video, the first little cones he sees, he zigs over and crunches one! :lol:

Force of habit, I guess. :mrgreen:

Great video ~ thanks for removing your rearview mirror for the camera! Well done. :wink: :thumbs_up:

Haha, did not! I had at least 3 inches of space. 8) The noise might just be a suspension clunk.

Ok everyone, here is the link to the folder with everyone's photos from Saturday:

http://1drv.ms/UyDyiJ

Again, not everyone will see a sharp panning shot from the front flag station. Unfortunately it was simply impossible for three people to fit upthere, and when they started to waive the green flag in front of me, I lost my ability to see, pan and focus properly... :oops:

Hopefully we will get together soon to do a rig shot photo shoot!

I got 78 twice; never had enough room to make 80.

Weren't supposed to go fast. We had to drag our feet to make room ahead, then speed around a corner when we could.
