Canadian cars rulled the rally this year!
2 996's a 360 and a Murcielago all from Ontario, were the fastest cars there.
The German guys were hard to catch in there SL 55 AMG's, as they were driving flat out most of the way.
We had a hard time on the run this year, We had troubles starting the Nsx on the 2nd day.
It was stalling out at 100mph+, we lost a cap to the header sensors, and had to find a all night Home Depot to get a couple of brass fittings.
Then the Nsx blew a tire, so one of the chase trucks picked him up.
We couldn't get a tire anywere, so we had the Tire Rack ship us one to Denver, then we took off the rim and it was cracked.
We tried to find someone to fix it but had no luck.
So we left the Nsx in Aspen, to be picked up later.
The first day I rode in a Murcielago (sp) the 2nd day in the Nsx.
The 3rd day in Dado's 550 hp M3, the 4th day I dove a Ferrari TR through Kanasas flat out 178mph.
The 5th day in a 993TT modifed to 600 hp.
On the 6th day rode in a yellow GT3, and had some fun with a 360 stradle.
The 7th day I rode in a 360 spyder, and a Dodge Hemi wagon.
When I was driving from KC to denver we hit hail, dust storms, wicked thunder storms, high winds, and tons of tumble weeds at 150mph+.
We had a track day in Topeka, and I rode in a M3 and we chased 2 F40's around the track for ten laps.
No tickets for me this year, or jail time.
Some other problems were.
Magusta blew a tire DNF.
Yellow viper out with steering problems.
Blue Corvette blown motor DNF.
Yellow GT3 blew a tire.
SL 55 blew a tire.
350z blew a tire
General Lee needed new wheel bearings.
Testerossa needed a new battery.
Prodrive SUV concept car was impounded by police, for no plates, no ins, no sn number.
996 broke a steering linkage, then he lost his clutch, and had to power shift the rest of the way.
993 hit a bird at 150+ shattered the windshield, got a new one installed and it was too small. Then he blew the motor on the track, when he missed a shift. He shipped the car to LA and installed a new motor, so he could finish the race.
Some of my pics.

The Enzo didn't make it on the run this year, the dealer in Denver started the car when it was cold a reved it up, it bent a few valves. They had to fly in a crew from Ferrari to pull the engine and fix it.
The owner of the Enzo has a 70+ car collection, he owns the S7 that joined us in Denver. He drove it hard and fast, until it started blowing oil all over the Ferraris behind him. They had to tow it to LA for repairs. DNF
Some one in Denver was driving a 959 on the street in the rain, and stoped to talk to us.
The Vector showed up at the end of the race for 2 hours, they slapped some stickers on it like it was in the race, but it only made it four blocks before it over heated.
Next year I want Tire Rack to sponsor my car, there were 11 people who had tire's blow out. We went from cold weather to hot in a few hours, most people didn't check there psi and paid the price.
We got it bad in Kansass, the police gave us an escort out of town, then 3 hours later they were waiting for us everywhere.
8 people went to jail, most got out after paying 500 bucks.
One person spent 3 days there for avoiding the police he was going over 180+.
At one point I was in the 500+ hp BMW M3, and we were in the lead when we had to pull over to rotate our tires.
When we pulled up to the Goodyear tire, 3 guy's came out and started going crazy shouting your the guys.
They had been listing to the police scanner and heard that we had been clocked at 184mph. The police were setting up a road block 2 miles ahead for us.
Good thing we got off!
They couldn't rotate our tires because our rims were to big, so they sent us around the road block to another tire shop.
They took pics with us and the car, and made us sign autographs.
I was a rock star for a day.LOL
