Re: Palo Alto Concours



"The Giddings car is an 8C35 Grand Prix car from 1935. "

Forget the 8C2900 (ok, don't, it was a beauty!)...I was standing right
behind the 8C35 when he fired it up for the judges! AMAZING, I've never
heard anything like that thing....it idled at 4000 RPM, and he tapped it up
to only 5500 RPM and I thought my ears were going to explode. My clothes
still smell like the exhaust from that beast....my dad video taped it with a
nice digital video camera, we checked it out when we got home...cranked up
the sound and relived the experience.

I have to admit, I came late, and only really wanted to see the Alfas...but
the Shelby Daytona was sweet to see.
