    There are a number of threads on this in the Florida section.
    A sensational once in a lifetime event from my perspective.
    Counted 13 to 14 Maranello's on site about evenly split between 550's and 575's. Our cars were a little sparse considering the unofficial count of Ferrari's on track counted to 809.
    Next in early April of 2017 also in Daytona, is the Ferrari Club of America International event. It includes track time events. If it's anything close to this past weekend, it should be special.
    Couple links with pics and more links.

    It's Hard To Comprehend How Much Money Was On Track At Daytona On Saturday

    In the Jalopnik video I happen to roll by at 31-32 secs behind the white FF far lane. Ended up with an hour and 45 minutes of track time on Daytona under the lights ;) What a night...

    Thanks for the post/links Bill. Must have been a blast to drive Daytona - amazing collection of cars, regret I missed it. Hope to be there in April.

    I was out there too in my Azzuro California 550. That banking is impressive.

    My left leg was a bit sore!

    I did not see a single 400/412 series car. Interesting. I was surprised by that. A good number 308s, GT4s, etc.

    I did not see any Ferrari less than ten years old have a problem. They just work, apparently.

    Great racing action and the Ferrari hospitality area was very nice.

    Taz everyone I spoke to anyway. Thanks.
    Wish that it was within reach for all to enjoy. Ferrari did a nice job in my experiences with their efforts and aim to accommodate. Should this event ever get to the states again it should be on ones must do list. It was a surreal atmosphere of cars.

    Patrick if you get here in April would be fun to meet. I have notes on several interior sticky repairs that I haven't made time to post yet.

    Barry halfway expected to see you here...
