Advantages of living in Europe

Well, spent the day watching the Corvette's and Viper's run the European cars ragged in Monza. Better than this, it goes again in a little while The FIA GT3 is alive and well, what a day so far. Living in Italy gives me such an appreciation for racing, I never realized how much fun it could be to watch Vipers, Vettes, Ferrari's, Lambo's, Porsche's, etc go after each other. Today was the mosts intense racing I have ever seen.

Unfortunately, the Vette (Calloway) edged out the Viper

, but we had one hell of a run. AWESOME RACE!!!!

Forgot the disadvantage... my 97 Viper GTS is back in the US until I return in 6 to 7 months.

I wish there was some way to watch those races in the US.

I love living in Italy. Will live here on and off from now on, wife's Sicilian, so summers in Sicily, the rest in Florida!

The racing was some of the best I have seen. These guys are crazy aggressive! The Aston Martin team was insane! The Vipers were really strong, just a few bad breaks, they got jammed on a few slower car situations and it hurt them. The damn Calloway's are lightning fast in the straights and corners, solid weekend for all the American cars. There was a really nice Cobra Mustang running around out there too, he was solid, just not at the same level as the other guys.
