Anybody see a bunch of Ferraris pass by today in SF?
Anybody see a bunch of Ferraris pass by today in SF?
I saw 3 of them on 19th ave with numbers on the side. Some sort of Gumball event or something?
I then saw on the news that there were a bunch of them on the Golden Gate Bridge today.

Those were participants in the Ferrari Challenge Rally
http://www.ferrarichallenge.com/cont...8&series=Rally
I was working checkpoints up in Napa, Lake and Sonoma counties, they had a "special stage" around Opus One winery that ran twice counter-clockwise on Monday and twice clockwise on Tuesday.
Participants (who paid over 5G to enter) logged nearly 800 miles over the last 3 days finishing in Monterey last night.
It was really an amazing time, I did get acosted by a couple of disgruntled civilians who complained that they were passed in dangerous situations, and one former Lake county cop who said if he was still on the force "he'd have the cars on tow trucks and the drivers in jail", pretty insane, I thought the guy was going to have a stroke...
But in reality, the speeds thay had to maintain to get to controls on time was all acheivable without breaking the law- and those cars can pass safely in far less space than most people would believe, so if anyone was mis-behaving that was their perogative, and not the fault of the rally organizers.
