My neighbor invited me again this year, so I'll be mozying around with my camera, observing the 'representatives' of certain liquid refreshments and the cars of course. Love the sounds of the braking and downshifting at the end of the straight and the sound of those alky fueled engines on their rev limiter going down the pits he he, kind of like a sick elephant giving birth he he.

On Saturday last year's race they had some GTA or GTO or wht those classes are called, with Ferraries, Corvettes, Lolas and all those non open-wheel cars, and yes, the Ferrari almost sounded like one of those GT3000 (I thin kthat class is called) at the braking and down shifting area, really cool. The Corvettes would be rumbling by, the Ferraries were screaming. The drifting was pretty cool too.
