Twin turbo F50
Aug 16th, 1998 - NOPI Import/Domestic ID DRAG WARS @ Texas Motorplex – Dallas (Ennis), TX - My home video
I think this was the first ever NOPI event in Texas.
Online there seems to be nostalgic interest regarding the history of John Carmack's old Ferrari collection along with his partnership with Bob Norwood. I had some old video so I thought I would post it up. I have edited my video to focus specifically on John's modified Ferrari F50 and Testarossa.
Back then we all loved that John was not afraid to modify his cars. He did not attend this NOPI but he could frequently be seen driving his cars to work and around town. It is a pretty awesome story - a young computer kid from my town making it to the big time! Being both a computer and car nerd I really thought this was super cool.
Although his cars did not have a strong showing at this event, they certainly had a strong showing running around the streets of Dallas. We were all in our early to mid 20's at the time and his cars totally blew our minds!
