The Ten Tenths Motor Membership formally opened over the weekend, with a brand new observe and clubhouse near Charlotte Motor Speedway. On the opening there was just a little Trans-Am racing and the Heritage Invitational, a automotive present that includes a lineup of some critically uncommon, extremely worthwhile automobiles. Allegedly, the automobiles on show have been value a collective $500 million, and I totally imagine it. Not solely did they’ve one of many first Mercedes-AMG Ones within the U.S. on show — they’d two. And that is earlier than you even get to the classic Ferraris.
The timing was virtually too on the nostril. A bunch of mega-millionaires exhibiting off their toys, doubtless not even conscious of the thousands and thousands of individuals protesting in cities throughout the nation over the harm completed by the identical politicians these homeowners had put in energy. Will there be one other Heritage Invitational subsequent yr? Perhaps, however alternatively, possibly not. Nonetheless, the automobiles themselves did not do something improper, and I used to be already there, so let’s check out a few of the coolest automobiles they’d on show, in addition to the Hennessey Venom F5.
