George P. -- consider coming to our Nov 15 charity event in Talladega... a little closer to home for you. Keep in mind that at almost all FCA events, we don't RACE our cars against other cars, and passing is only allowed in certain areas with the "passee's" permission. We do our best to keep the events very safe. At the Talladega roadcourse, I've been going there for 10 years 2 or 3 times each year, and I've hosted/organized most of those events. We've never had anyone hurt, and the ONLY damage ever done to a car was a cracked front spoiler once. Details on the event (and others on our schedule) are at www.fca-se.org or www.fca-se.com

You can join the FCA through the web site www.ferrariclubofamerica.org. FCA club events aren't "races". You can drive in a number of run classes according to your talents and/or desires. You may want to signup for touring which is a lower speed session. Registration for the event may be located at www.fca-se.com. Hope to see you there.  |

Our car is black/natural. I think it will be a great event. I hope a lot of folks in the area take advantage of this opportunity as I think we will get plenty of track time. |

Crawford, I can't wait to see it either. I haven't driven a front engine v12 on a track since we sold our Daytona and that was back in the late 80's. Should be an interesting event.  |

I think you'd be able to come Fri & Sat for $20/day. Are you an FCA member? Call Wendy Djang at 919.881.0081 to verify... |
