    On or about March 3rd, 45-year-old Russian racing enthusiast Vadim Kogay took delivery of a brand-new Ferrari 458 GT3 racer.

    It went downhill from there.

    Makes one wonder what sort of prerequisites were required to qualify for participation. Hard to believe they would so willingly put the lives of the other drivers at stake. :frown2:

    Yea, I think that is the case. The race is 3 hours long and normally doesn't the driver who qualifies the car go first?

    Dangerously entertaining to say the least.

    On another note... Danica finished a blistering 34th tonite... all the while never running it off the road.

    Time to give her the heave Tony!

    Just remember if you give her the heave all the GoDaddy money and other sponsor go also. SHR needs the money just to feed Tony's fat a$$.:lol:

    See a lot of this around military towns after a deployment, money burning a hole in their pockets. They go out and buy things like brand new HD's, have them delivered to their house, jump on with no experience, twist the throttle and pop the clutch, watch the bike pull a wheelie and take off without them on the seat while they break both wrists after they hit the ground....then wonder why the shop won't take the bike back :incazzato:

    That's how the world goes round.....:frown2:

    Well... from the color of the car, it's obvious what run group he's in. They should have expected it with a Ferrari in the green run group.

    wait... what?

    It isn't a DE weekend?

    Sometimes TV and talented drivers make it look easier than it really is.

    To quote Fast and Furious " Wait, you just can't climb in the ring with Ali 'cause you think you box! "
