Every year our local Ferrari dealership hosts a track day for sports car and exotic car owners. This year’s event was special because three of Ron Tonkin’s personal cars, the F40, F50, and Enzo, would be attending and driving around the track. Seeing them all parked next to each other was pretty special. To see the full gallery, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

The F40 looks like the cute child, the F50 looks like the awkward teenage years, and the Enzo looks all grown up.

The tilt shift/hdri-ness of some of these really made me think they were from a video game....

What’s the deal with the lightly caged Excursion?

They parked it there for some company promo. I only got to that end of the track once they had parked it and only got a few shots without the truck there.

I can never get over how beautiful while raw and functional the F40 is, it’s a work of art, a masterpiece.

Ron Tonkin is a pretty cool Ferrari dealer, my dad used to take me there as a kid and they would let us wander around the showroom. Once the back garage was open and his F40 and F50 were both in there, pretty cool especially to a 10 year old.

Don’t know where the LaFa LaFa will fall as it ages, but I went from ugh to <3 very quickly with it.

They've always been a great dealer. Everyone there is super friendly and one of my good friends works there now.

That fat Benz in the 16th photo also does not belong. It’s blocking my view of that lovely cheddar cheese orange S2K.

Great pics, though. Thanks for sharing!

These are some nice shots but damnit the lack of a proper black level and white level are a bit aggravating. Just becuase you have the dynamic range doesn’t mean you always have to use it. It’s like a grey haze over otherwise beautiful shots.

There is no filter needed with shots like that!

These photos are amazing, you have a gift behind the lens.

If I could only own one car that was worth more than $1 million, it would be an F50.

Video game graphics these days are amazing

Too bad on a gaming system or my dreams are the only place I’ll ever get to drive anything like this :(

With all due respect, and hopefully no copyright infringment, I gave a few of these shots (they really are great shots) a simple rework to *fix* the black and white levels, not that they needed fixing, i see what you were going for. I just though you might appreciate a different interpretation of them.

Start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go to tech tab for work detail.

Have to say it but the F50 just seems to be getting better and better looking all the time. Definitely in my dream garage and I would hardly call myself a Ferrari fan

There's a Ferrari dealership in Salt Lake City, downtown that a couple years ago had all three parked next to each other. Two Enzo's actually. I almost had a heart attack.

Awesome shots as always. Wouldn’t really expect any less from you :)

Man. Both the F40 and the F50 have less than 3000 miles on them. Cmon Ron. Drive the cars!

Which son got which when he passed? I wouldn't have wanted to be involved in that fight.

As a Portlander with an S2000 this event might’ve been my only chance to park it next to a McLaren...

I’ve actually been to a few of the normal track days there and two Mclarens have shown up before. And of course there’s always Cars and Coffee.

Killer job as always. Your work never disappoints. I still need to make it up for C&C at some point alongside visiting World of Speed.

What the, where is my invitation to things like this? I could have brought out my $3k C4 and played as well!

I wanted so badly to call into work on Monday to be there. Sometimes being an adult sucks.

Saw Ron sitting in his Enzo a few years back at the Sunriver Festival of Cars... Nice guy.
