March 29, 200916 yr comment_279113 Hi Bryan:Glad to see you, Roger and Jim could make it to this years Festival of Speed Show. I had my wife captive a couple of week-ends ago at another event, so this weekend was payback time. We had about four men here tearing out a bath for remodeling, as we ran around picking up new fixtures and supplies. Until the last minute I was hoping that we could work the schedule out so as to free me up Saturday... but it was not to be.HLS30 00016 is looking pristine for a now 40 year old, and I can see the headlight of your Black/Silver ZX peeking through. Hope you guys had a great time... looking at another thread - it looks like Chris did... Maybe he has some pictures of some cars .... na.....FWIW,Carl B.

March 29, 200916 yr comment_279138 Hey Carl, we missed you. That is Frank's 280 ZX. Roger showed up with his bevy (three now) of V8 powered Zs. This is Briggs Cunningham's 1963 Maserati Birdcage Tipo 63/64 serial #63-002. Next to it was a 1959 Ferrari Grand Prix racer restored to the Nth degree. Both cars V-12s Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/31336-16-at-the-festival-of-speed-show/#findComment-279138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 29, 200916 yr comment_279139 Race cars included this Lola T70 MkIII. The Ferrari F1 was at the festival last year. I don't know much about it - signed by some guy. It was parked next to this stunning white Ferrari with white leather interior - just stunning. I also had my first chance to see one of the GT40 replicars. This one is a "Backdraft BDR GT". I don't care for the Ford GT remake and was very impressed with the quality of the Backdraft. This example has a Roush 5.0 liter supercharged engine.

March 29, 200916 yr comment_279140 But my show favorite was this Ferrari 250 GT Lusso Berlinetta. The last picture would have been really cool if not for the dust on car. I could spend hours cleaning the dust off that photo.

March 29, 200916 yr comment_279144 Hi Chris: Well so far, my "show favorite" is the blond standing on your right in the other picture Wish I could have made it - but too many other tasks developed here, and I just couldn't get away. We started remodeling a bath earlier in the week - and things just went downhill from there. FWIW, Carl B.

March 29, 200916 yr comment_279149 Here's group shot of the cars. We had a nice shady spot, but between the wind and the trees it was a challenge keeping the cars wiped down. Pollen and dust got everywhere. All and all, it was a great day with plenty to see and do.
