Default Dec. 7, Griots Garage Caffeine and Gasoline Lauda Ferrari

For everyone that hasn't stored their Vettes yet. It was awesome seeing it at the Seattle Auto Show. Griots will be firing up Lauda's Ferrari on December 7. Here is a teaser video they posted!

Please remind me as I have forgotten, what time do these "Hang-outs" typically begin?

For us old salts, this is the day we honor our Navy shipmates that had fallen during Pearl Harbor attacks. Just wanted to put it out there. GO NAVY!

I have it written on my calendar. Just waiting to see what else I need to do that day and what the weather is doing. We shall see.

Looks Like it'll be dry and cold.

Get your Corvette sweatshirts on and don't be a bunch of wussies.

Dad and I should be there with both vettes.

Kind of a can't miss event for an F1 fan. I'll be there, but don't know what I'll be driving.

Wow, colder than all heck, but I was outside behind Nikki Lauda's Ferrari and what a treat it was to see them both get fired up. That is almost one of those bucket list items, to be that close to a piece of automobile racing history as it is cranked up.

Pretty cool to look through the parking lot too. Lots of exotica out there. Loved the Panhard. Saw about a dozen Corvettes. The inner grassy field area was full of classics.

Very nice!

Agreed. It was awesome.

I could not believe how many donuts they had. LOL

I got my fill. Man they were good.

Well, I guess that answers our/your question Fred.....

"The two race cars are part of the collection of Tacoma’s Richard Griot, the founder of Griot’s Garage, and they’ve been lovingly and painstakingly restored by his mechanics."

I thought maybe they were on loan from LeMay. Thanks for the article link.

Mr Griot, has all of his cars restored by J&L Fabrication of Auburn. Louie, (the owner of J&L) was starting the Mclaren.
