2004 Players Run pics from Chicago last Sunday

[Heat Seeker WS6]

Now that the pics are ready I can post this...

My buddy Todd & I went down to Chicago on Sunday to see the Player's Run cars come into thier stop there. The Players Run (http://playersrun.com) is the current version of the Canonball Run. When we pulled up to the Hotel looking for a place to park after finding no place on the street to park, we asked the bellhop if we could have them valet the car for us- (2003 red Z06) and they had us park it right in front of the place. As it turned out, THAT very spot was the official stop point for that leg and the car was parked in by numerous groups of exotics and whatever else ran it. So, in many pics you'll see our un-stickered Z06. If anyone has seen the Mischief 3000 videos, yes, those guys with the yellow BMW were there and the pigmask was in full effect. All the drivers, passengers and event personel were very cool to speak with.
Some of the models and some country singer dude are in a few of the pics.
The camera I used is an Olympus 3 Megapixel.
Enjoy!!

Damn I wanted to find/go to that this year! I see you like F-40's almost as much as I do!

I can thank a certain Mr Jim for the fondess of the Scuderia badge.
The F40 pictured with the round headlights and silver rims is an F40LM. Ferrari only made a few of these cars to compete in the LeMans 24 and they made a few more but not as modified to run in thier own Ferrari sanctioned race series. The LM I shot here is owned and driven by Roland, the owner of Ferrari of Denver. The one in front of him is one of the ones modified for thier sanctioned race program. The chick in the white top leaning on the LM is a supermodel.
There was supposed to be an Enzo, but his motor blew leaving New York on Friday! Ferrari of North America sent in thier chief engine guy to fix the car and had a new motor/tranny on standby if needed. Ferrari assured the owner that the car would be running and AT the Colorado stop by Wednesday :wooo (today)...And you thought GM's On-star was the ****.

Also going on down there was Ferraris on Oak Street days. More of those that GM's rolling around! Cars we saw driving around- 2 F50's, 1 ENZO, 355's, 360's and several more. We didn't hang out on Oak St though because the Players Run also had Ferraris, but it also had Lambos, Porches and celeberties! :bling :bling
I've never seen anything like this before in my life.
