Sat - March 15, 2008 - 9:00PM - Australian F1

The Australian Grand Prix was our first Formula One race party of the season at Albert Park. We watched it on the big screen in the back room of the The Big Inning Sports Pub at 7777 W Sahara Avenue on the SE corner of Buffalo (702) 255-8708, open 24/7. Good food & drinks, big screen TVs and a casual atmosphere always make this a fun event. So many cars were disabled and crashed, there were only a handful left by the finish of the race. Last year Kimi Raikkonen won this race. This time it was won by Hamilton. See the pics...

Sun - Feb 24, 2008 - Death Valley - 8:45AM

The Porsche Club invited us to join them for a one-day drive to Death Valley for brunch at Furnace Creek Inn driving via the scenic and fun switchback route. We met at 8:45 am at the last gas station on the way to Pahrump where Routes 159 and 160 (Blue Diamond) intersect. Gas is very expensive in Death Valley and along the way, so we filled up here. We departed at 9 am sharp. We took 160 toward Pahrump; turning left before Pahrump onto the Old Spanish Trail Highway through the switchbacks and through Tecopa. Turned right onto Route 127 north into Shoshone for a restroom break. Turned left on Route 178 (Badwater Road) into Death Valley. Stopped at Badwater Basin (the lowest elevation in the US) for a picture. Turned right onto Artist Drive thru some beautiful scenery. We had 12:45 reservations at Furnace Creek Inn for brunch. Aprox $25.00 a person payable to the Inn included a 15% tip. We then took a different route back to Las Vegas. Thanks to Robert Douglas for the pics. See the pics...

Sat - Feb 23 - Penske-Wynn Tech Session

The Tech Session at Penske-Wynn Ferrari/Maserati started early Saturday morning at 8:30 AM. Those that arrived at the front entrance were directed to secure parking. Penske-Wynn Ferrari/Maserati, located at the spectacular Wynn Las Vegas resort located in the heart of The Strip hosted the event for us. The topic was how to prepare your Ferrari for Track Driving. The day started with coffee, bagels and donuts. For those of us who put our Ferrari models on the hoist for inspection, the dealership provided us with nitrogen inflation for our tires. This event has always been well attended in the past and this year was no exception. After the event, we drove to Bahama Breeze at the corner of East Flamingo and Paradise for lunch. We then drove together over to Oz and Jeanne's home for dessert, wine, and beer. Oz has a remarkable collection of automobiles. See the pics...
