Allan-Herbie Report post Posted October 19, 2014 First night we met up for a party at a Hollywood Hill Estate thats up for sale for only $30 Mill. Had a great night, and the Patron Platinum was flowing freely. The highlight for me was the red 88 1/2 Countach in the garage. They also had a couple of Huracans, Aventadors and Super Trofeo's Was a great to start to what would be a great weekend.

Allan-Herbie Report post Posted October 19, 2014 The next day we packed up, and headed off to Palm Springs. We ended up at the La Quinta Resort and Spa for a little bit of relaxation before going off to the next party at Thermal. After ALOT of Patron and great food we headed back to the hotel for some late night hotel terrorizing. I dont know how we did it, but the next day we got to the track at 8:30 am.. Another amzing breakfast and off we went. We were in the Gold group ( me, Deuce, Ajglobal) because we are considered race car drivers. So we basically had the whole track to ourselves to drive our own cars. Off we went and had a blast. My Murcielago was running good, but the brakes on the Murcielago aren't sufficient to consistently haul the car down from 130mph+ speeds. Ajglobal had the same issues with his GTT. After some fun with our cars we headed off to the Autocross track where we got to do timed laps in a track prepped Porsche Cayman. The track was setup really well and allowed for some pretty good speeds. This quickly changed our target from best lap time, to best drifting skills and we had a blast... After that we decided to go gocarting.. After putting on our race suits, and taking 20 minutes to get my fat ass in the cart we were off.. These carts are crazy. 20 Minutes in these things and you are in total agony, sweating head to toe, cant breath and muscles aching. I think I broke my wrist, but it was amazing. Soo much fun. By then with the 100 degree heat it was time to cool off with another great lunch and get ready for the afternoon. The rest of the day consisted of running the Aventador, Huracan, numerous new BMW's and .... runs in the 3 Super Trofeo cars... We also got to take our cars out as much as we wanted . By the end of the day we were exhausted and prepared for our trip home. The Huracan was a blast. It makes the Aventador seem old. The exhaust crackling, instant shifts are amazing. On the back straight I hit 139mph in the Aventador, and I hit 143 in the Huracan. The difference may not be that the Huracan is faster, but that it has quicker entry and exit speeds from the last turn. The Aventador feels very heavy and floaty just like my Murci, while the Huracan feels much lighter, more secure and more planted. In terms of speed, at triple digit speeds the running the Aventador against a Huracan it seemed both were very evenly matched. Turned out to be one of the best weekends we have had in a long time..

Igor Report post Posted October 21, 2014 What are you trying to say? I guess, that older Porsches with huge wings look noticeably dated compared to the newer models. A Countach on the other hand can still look good standing next to an Aventador. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
