As long as I have been posting on FerrariChat, I did not know this portion existed. Thanks John for pointing it out. Looking forward to Brian's party and to seeing some nice cars and people. |

This party is not about showing off cars anyway. It does not matter if it rains. |

Unfortunately, current forecast is for RAIN. I'm not letting that stop me, though. Just applied some Rain-X to the windshield, so I'll be good to go even if it's wet for the 450 mile round trip.
Hey, Ferraris don't melt, and that's why we have treads in our tires. It just means we have to do a wash job, but I enjoy that anyway.

Big Weekend Update:
Annual FCA - SE Region Kick-Off Party This Saturday May 17th - DINNER STARTS @ 5pm! For those who asked, we are kicking off the F1 season, our FCA event season and the new enthusism our club has seen this year!
Brian Willis is hosting the party at his home in Suwanee, Georgia. Directions on following post. Hat's off to him for all of the preparation he has done!
We should have enough food for the slackers who did not RSVP - so bring it on! Please note that British Car Day is 3 exits North of Brian's at Chateau Elan (Hwy 211) on Saturday. Please be courteous so they don't crash our Italian Car Day party in the fall.
This event will be a casual BBQ eatin', cigar smokin', car talkin', video watchin' type atmosphere. Bring a fold-up director's style chair for the mulit-level deck if you have one.
All Ferrari enthusiasts are welcome and encouraged to attend. Donations for admission & dinner will be $20 at the door (inside), and $15 for a spouse or significant-other (your date). Please no griping. The cost is break-even for the number of folks who sent an RSVP. Extra revenue from donations will buy nice give-away items for raffle.
A catered BBQ buffet-style dinner with all the fixin's will be served with fine imported beer (+ a little domestic "light"), tea and soft drinks. Liquor and wine will be BOYB to keep cost down (2 bottle shops are with in 2 miles).
I'm looking for a couple of volunteers who may be interested in helping to collect donations and help with buffet serving.
DON'T FORGET! - Sunday May 18th @ 7:30am � Annual Formula 1 Party
Hosted by Ferrari of Atlanta/ Maserati of Atlanta. FOA will graciously open their doors for us to watch the Austrian Grand Prix live on their big screen TV. Note that this is the morning after the Kick-Off Party. Last year, we had well over 30 folks attend. This year we expect an even bigger turn out. Come have doughnuts & coffee with other F1 fans and Ferrari Enthusiasts.
RSVP to me, John Delvac at [email protected] if you plan to attend the F1 event (for food planning). No need to call me about the BBQ, we are all set up.
