FXXK NOLA- more excellent reasons to hate Treynor...

[csvt98]

I had the chance to roll down to NOLA Motorsports Park this weekend and I went, I was glad I did.:rolling: Here are some pictures of the XX Programme cars and a few shots of everything else. There were four FXXK's, two 599XX's, and one F1 car in the mix! One of my favorite parts had to be watching the... wait, everything. Nothing can describe the sound of an FXXK or 599XX as they go by, listening to them is like music to your ears. I did not get a chance to talk to Treynor, he looked busy when I saw him and I did not want to bother him. My next goal in life car-wise, is a Ferrari. Some pictures are from my IG and some are from a little Canon camera, the camera could not take far away shots, no track shots.:shrug: I also have been posting pictures on my IG (IG is in sig), along with some video. I have the F1 car video up on IG right now, taken from my IPhone 4. Enjoy!

NOLA Motorsports Park is a top notch facility, it has go carts there as well that are a blast to drive. I have had one of the best weekends in a really long time, this trip was worth it. I felt like a kid in a candy shop with all of those Ferrari's!!!:rolling:

[csvt98]

Ferrari sure does, those cars were amazing! No problem man, something like this needs to be shared!

I think Scuderia Treynor has the best looking FXXK color scheme going.

Bad ass

Very cool pic's thanks for sharing

I for the life of me still don't get the economics behind the sport. The amount of money in those cars, trailers and teams is just mind boggling.

Great pics. Looks like a fun day!

man if it was next weekend, i'd love to take my boys!

Every trailer represented a "Ferrari of (insert big city name here)", each trailer brought at least 3-4 458 Challenge cars. Race teams were from as far away as Vancouver, Miami, San Diego, San Francisco, and Long Island to name a few. Not to mention each 458 Challenge car costs maybe $300k-$400k. The racing was epic between the 458 Challenge cars, I have some video I have to upload on IG when I get some time. I am not going to lie, if I had the money I would be out there with them as well!

Thank you! It was an absolute blast, come to find out this was apparently the only time the XX Programme would be in America in 2015, I hope they come around the east coast or come back to NOLA again next year.

man if it was next weekend, i'd love to take my boys!

They would have been in awe at all of the Ferrari's, I want to say that there were at least 50-60 Ferrari's present!

Nice shots.

I still can't believe I had to miss this.

 

[mystickb1996]

^^^this!! Of course of all weekends to be in Birmingham!! And this was happening 15 mins away from my house in Nola.. I gotta try those go karts out sometime at least. Thanks for sharing op

I love the 288 GTO. I have always loved the 308 GTB's and the 288 GTO's have the performance the 308's should of had.

They have skyrocketed from the original price of $85k in the mid-eighties to over $2 million now.

 

[BlkCpe]

Am I the only one that thinks that all the local svtp members need to make a trip to go ride to go carts at NOLA?!

 

[Brandon619]

Good pictures!

Start a thread in the South section and lets see if we can make it happen.

Just. Wow.

I love them as well, I just love that 80's look of the 308/328/288's had, all of those were pretty cars. It is hard to believe you can pick up a 308 for around $60k-$80k and a couple million for a 288 GTO.

Good pictures!

Thank you!

Good idea, except I am 5-5 1/2 hours away, as STAMPEDE3 said, throw it in the south section and see if anyone bites. I may go down next year if things are ready for a NASA weekend...

So freaking awesome!
