Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 in 08 event--$ and venue--Harrah's and Habitat

[Rick Lindsay (rolindsay]

Great fun was had Paul.  We're just trying to do some extra good while enjoying 
our hobby.  And Jim ended up in the hole so we're trying to get him up to 
break-even status.  (No good deed goes unpunished!) Don't take these posts to 
represent the main thrust of the event.  We're just sweeping up details, and 
nails.

Do a search on jimshadow in FerrariChat and you'll find zillions of pictures of 
the fun bits.

And I'd have to say that the venue, while over 800 miles from me, was nicely 
located in the mid-west.  The added benefit was that there are very few places 
where one can do a car show and top 90mph on the road beside it.  (I didn't get 
over about 80 in Jim's 308GT4. :-)  Personally, I found the highlight in the 
driving category was when the 360 Modena and supercharged 308 did flying laps 
together on the parking lot.  Yeeehaaa.  Then again, Robert's spin when he 
over-cooked the braking zone was pretty special. And that earned him a round of 
applause.
