Default Morning ride to work

I drive 288N to work and its pretty boring. Well today was pretty interesting, it seemed like a car show heading south on 288. I did notice there were more Supras and Vettes than anything but seen some vipers too. I just wonder where they were all going. It looked like there was some being trailored also like there were going to be races too.
