FCA - 2014 Annual Meet - Who's going?

My wife and I are going - staying at the host hotel

 

Yep, plan to go, just have to get a Testarossa now!

"The 2014 Ferrari Club of America International Annual Meet will be a memorable event, taking us to the Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, VA and the Summit Point Race Track for an elegant and exciting celebration. The Meet includes the internationally recognized FCA Concours d'Elegance held at nearby Creighton Farms Country Club in Aldie, VA, a road rally through the beautifil Northern Virginia Hunt Country, three days of racetrack activities, a vendor market (Mercato di Ferrari), seminars, receptions, charity auction and banquet with award presentations.

The theme for this year's Meet is "Celebrating The Redheads" where we pay special tribute to the two eras of the Testa Rossa and Testarossa cars made by Ferrari. From the beautiful pontoon fendered racing cars of the 1950's to the flat 12-cylinder mid-engine cars made famous by the Miami Vice TV show, we'll have a large gathering of "Redheads" at the Annual Meet."


Although the drive is not bad, been there did it in 06 when we had it there. Same deal, same place, etc. It's worth redoing.

For what it's worth, we will be getting a truck ready to transport cars. Let me know if you are interested.

John, you shipping or driving? Shipping me bet…two cars? I found the best TR for sale if you want one, not that you need it by any stretch of the imagination. Taking the Scud and 612?

 

David
Will definitely be shipping one car - probably the Scud for tracking - so please hold one spot for me - sounds like fun

 

I'll just fly into DC, the airport is so close

 

Amy and I are planning to go... Looking forward to it!

Hank

 

I'm considering making the drive ...what's the exact date

 

Of the two venues, Lansdowne is a few miles to my east, and Creighton Farms is a few miles to my south. I can't believe this is all going to happen in my back yard.

Raider, Looking forward to meeting you.

Also BTW guys, I'm setting up the 4th annual Ferrarichat Does Golf tournament to be immediately before or after the annual meet, if you want to bring your clubs up. Always fun parking on the clubhouse lawn

 

I remember Nice example. Sorry we didn't run into each other in the process. Always happy to check out a car for a fellow Fchatter. See you in the summer

 

I made reservations at the host hotel some time ago. I was told it was filling up so if you want to stay there better do it.

 

Odd...I wonder why the link has 2012 on it...hmm.

This will be a fun event. I will never forget how I made the driving instructor holler like a little girl when I almost lost it on the back esses at Summit. You could see stright ahead, first out the right window, then straight our the left window, all at about 90 mph. He had just said I was not doing pushing enough...then he screamed lol. Then he said good save..thank god for that.

 

Non Ferraris allowed on track?

 

You should volunteer as an instructor. I recall instructors taking their cars out in an instructor session. Maserati is allowed but that is all I can recall. You still have the 944 track record there? Multiple tracks still?

 

Karl, take the M3!

 

I booked hotel this morning from 12-15.

 

X5 if anything

 

That's Lansdowne, right? I could slice golf balls across Goose Creek from my course to theirs. If I ever sliced.

Still hold 7 but never had one at Summit. I had a few victories there though. Here's a glimpse

From the video, the track looks fairly narrow

 

The first Annual Meet I attended at Summit was in 1987, then 1991. It's a great track and, while certainly not on the scale of the Glen, Sebring or Road Atlanta, it is a fast and fun track.

Here's from last year...
