iM Flashback: ZR Auto Track Day
We all miss the summer, I know everyone thats reading this does. Can’t wait for it to get nice out again and put the WRX back into summer mode. As much as I love blasting through the snow with her in winter mode, I love how she looks in summer mode.
Which got me thinking… how do drivers of exotics do it? I don’t know if I could wait a whole winter to drive my expensive ass car again. It spends most of its life hidden in a garage somewhere or stored.
I started digging back in my pics to look at exotics, and I came across the pics I took at the ZR Auto Track Day back in October. Corey posted some awesome pics of the cars on the track that day, but I figured I’d post a few of the ones I got since I was looking at them and wanted to share.

Everybody loves exotics, and in reality, who doesn’t? But you know who loves them more? People that can afford them. So how do you live when you know you’ve gotta put your car away for over 6 months? I guess this is how they get it out of their system… by beating on them and using them to their full potential on the track before they have to put them away.
And then we thought that was it. It was late in the day, people were all starting to leave. Zahir (of ZR Auto) had taken the black Ferrari F40 home, so that was that. A few of us stuck around since we had nothing better to do. And then we heard what sounded like an monster, and tried to figure out what would make such a menacing noise. Looks like Zahir had another trick up his sleeve, and came back an hour later, and pulled up into the pits:
See that kid on the left of the picture looking at me funny? Its cause he just finished seeing me jump four feet back because Zahir fired up the Enzo a moment before I took the shot (Prashant can verify the distance of my jump). Seriously, when I was setting up this shot, the car was full frame:
As much as the F40 is my favorite Ferrari of all time, the Enzo is a sight to see and hear on the track:
Hope to see these cars again back on the track this year, and be sure that we will be there to capture them for you guys again.
