Default FOC opening spring drive - Video added 12/12/07

http://nthimage.com/Detroit/events/Drive_04_22_07.htm

I'm pretty lazy right now, so i haven't made any lowres images.

there were 32 cars for leg 1, and nearly 40 for leg 2! seeing them all.... at speed it takes nearly 1/2 a mile of road... just amazing.

We stopped off at my friends warehouse full of roughly 50 cars, and headed out an hour later. Everybody had a great time, and we are looking forward to the next planned drive.

enjoy the photos.... most aren't that great IMHO... but still enjoyable. I was too busy introducing people, conversing with them, telling directions, etc. etc. ... next time maybe lol

It may be that the Lambo was the one from the Cannonball Run movie or that it was a replica.

That was optioned from the factory?! Thats awful, I always thought it was just something stupid they put on for the movie. I couldn't imagine anyone being serious with that thing.
