Concord Cars and Coffee

After attending the Coca-Cola 600 a few weeks ago, NMS was back at Charlotte Motor Speedway! This time looking at a Jaguar E Type. 

Coffee wise, I made my own at home for this event, added some milk, and had great coffee! Cars wise, well, let's go! As a bonus, after the Cars and Coffee, there was an autocross going on down the street at ZMax Dragway, so I stopped by to check out the cars and walk the course for fun, so there's a few photos of autocross cars today too!

Heading to the speedway right at 8am when it opened, right behind this awesome Corvette. 

At the Charlotte Motor Speedway, this edition of the monthly C&C was gigantic! Sponsored by Hendrick automotive, the stars of the show (in my opinion) were five very special Ferraris, that I can only assume belong to Mr. Hendrick. From 1-3 million bucks each when new, they're probably worth more now, being the Ferrari Icona series. 

Ferrari Monza SP1, one of the Icona cars!
Yes, it's a ONE SEATER!
Yes, it has a V12 799HP engine!
Introduced in 2018, it probably cost $2,000,000 when new. 
PRO TIP: It's worth more than that now, 

Another Ferrari Monza SP1. Now I've seen TWO of them in person!

This is one of only 599 Daytona SP3 cars. Also a 12 cylinder engine. 
It has 829HP 
Top speed is said to exceed 211MPH. 
These were only about $2,2250,000 when new.  

Ferrari Monza SP2. 
The SP1 had one seat, and this SP2 has two seats!
The no windshield design is on purpose, with aerodynamic design elements to keep the wind from really blowing in your face!

This car was awesome, with full hydraulic lift kit to bounce along, lift the front, the rear, the left, or just the right!

Great Chevy Bel Air wagon.

Chevy Corvair, rear mounted, air cooled, flat-6 engine. 

THE GOAT! I mean GTO, also known as the GOAT!

I had to look this one up, it's a Chrysler stretched K car that they sold from 1983-1986. It retained the low powered 4 cylinder engine, but had very comfy looking seats. They sold 1,500 of these bad boys, and I had never heard of it, much less seen one. 

Chrysler Executive Sedan!

Dang, another Ferrari! Posing by the CMS sign. 

Porsche with headlights up!

This is one of THREE Honda Del Sol's I spotted!

Not sure what year this Cadillac could be, let's go with 1966. 

An awesome looking Porsche 356. 

Nissan Z car with "custom" air ducting!

Porsche3 GT3RS
These cars have so many air scoops, spoilers, and other aerodynamic bits on them they look fast just sitting still. 

Alfa Romeo 4C with carbon fiber main tub. 

Chevy low-rider!

Meanwhile, down the road at the autocross: A Dodge Viper!

Lotus with plenty of modifications. 

Karts like this are very fast on autocross courses!

Another Lotus, with not so many mods!

Lots of stuff going on with this car: looks like plastic windows, and the unique giant full-body wing!

There is a Lotus under all these alterations!
