| Note from Rob |
Has everyone noticed the performance improvements? We spent about 2 weeks tuning and getting consultations to improve the user experience. We will always look at even more improvements, but I think this was a nice leap. Here was my announcement of the improvements back in April: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=136666902&postcount=1

Crescent Classic Ferrari Tour held in Arkansas each Fall is very close to my heart. I have attended each year and I look forward to it year around. There are no concours, masses of people, or high entry fees. Many of you know Chris Parr and his vision of great driving, casual events, intimate participation numbers, and low entry fees. This has all been accomplished. The roads we drive in the Ozarks have been rated Top 10 in the country by Road & Track. The "haunted" grand hotel at the top of Eureka Springs is an experience within itself. We have great food and drink, that becomes even better drink as the very social nights carry on. I said no car shows, but we find some of our days walking among the cars in our special reserved and secure parking. Everything from 7 digit vintage cars to the latest from Maranello. Enough talk from me, view some of the Crescent Tour threads in the Crescent Tour Forum for yourself, what other Ferrari event gives you all of this for $850 a couple?
