Way cool Mike! Will be looking for your updates to the thread with some pictures!!
Amazing car Mike. Good luck at the event.
Thanks guys. I will put some pics early next week.
I attended this event last year, but it was a `working holiday` - Garry and I did a "quick wash" on 13 Ferrari`s, Lambo`s, Porsche`s, and BMW`s from a Tampa car club.
Yesterdays show was great! Temps in the upper 70`s and sunny.
Tonight I will work on uploading photos, but here is teaser of what was at the show: Ferrarri Enzo, Pagani Huayra, Alpha Romeo TZ3 (one of 9 built), a McLaren P1 & a few MP4-12C`s and 650S`s, Porsche Carrera GT, a few Lamborghini Anventador`s & a Huracan, Saleen S7, and the only model currently in the US of the Aston Martin Vulcan. There were lots of other nice, fast cars there too. More to come, and some very cool news too!
OK, sorry for the delay, I could not bulk upload pictures yesterday.
So on with the show!
The Festivals of Speed Orlando event is held at the JW Marriot & Ritz Carlton Resorts. The resort has a long, wide (about one car lane) sidewalk with lots of grass areas that meanders around this `lake`, and paved verandas to put the cars on. We were lucky enough to be in the `special` car area, a small rise, with it`s own path.
A nice Porsche Carrera GT ( $500,000 car when it was introduced in 2004)

I spoke with the owner of that Lola, and he still runs the car on track days. He said the 17" wide rear tires could be a little wider for the power the car has!
Now getting down to the supercars...
The newest supercar, an Aston Martin Vulcan, is a track only car, with a 7.0 litre V-12 that puts out 800 HP. Only 24 are being built, and this is the only one currently in North America

Some great machinery at that show Mike! Congrats on that trophy! Very cool!!!
Super cool !!!!!
Congrats on the trophy as well.
Congrats on the win !!!!! From the looks of things the competition was fierce.
Thanks fellas! Some of the cars were dealer cars (Vulcan, and a few others) but most were judged, and received trophy`s in their class. The owner was still stunned with I saw him yesterday.
I have spoken to him about bringing the car to DetailFest for the Saturday show, and he is interested. Stay tuned!
