what a mind numbing experience. words, pictures and videos can't possibly describe the fun we had last week. everyone agreed that it was well worth the money.
the competition was very tough... lots of lambos (diablo,murcielago), ferraris (f40,550,360,355), and porsches (c4 cab, 996 cab,993 turbo,996 turbo, gt2). i had a tough time keeping up. a brabus sl55 broke the 200mph barrier a few times. except for the delorean and hummers, i think i had the slowest car. we maxed out the nsx just shy of 170mph and the other cars were pulling away... sickening speeds.
some of the crazy events caught on tape:
-some kids in a suburu trying to show off smacks into a wall at over 90mph
-the 360 modena loses control on an oval track and does a 360.. how appropriate
-f40 does 180mph on gravel road
-police escort to new orleans... not your average police escort
-9 cars busted together for wreckless driving (some hid in ditches and parking lots.. but were eventually caught)
-delorean is ticketed for doing 75mph in a 75mph zone (don't ask)
-hummer h2 with a chick driver produces one of the best track times
-jackass crew signs autographs for jail inmates and deputies while being booked
-one of the 550 maranellos crashes in the rain
the list goes on and on.
i can't wait til next year.
