The Grove Park Inn is a Grand Historic Hotel, with a world class spa. It was built by carving out a section of mountainside below the hotel. There are fabulous massage facilities, pools, steam rooms, and 5 hot tubs all in a breathtaking setting.

For those of you not familiar with Asheville, it is a shoppers bizarre! Dozens of Antiques, crafts, and nature shops are downtown (3 mins from hotel) and several shops are actually next to the hotel itself.

Yep... are you signed up? Lisa and I are going, even though we don't golf.

 

hello Ferrari owners, my name is Kyle Lawrence from Knoxville, TN. I will be heading up to Ashville, NC. for the Ferrari Cup Challenge. I was looking for an enthusiastic owner that would be willing to allow a college student to ride in their Ferrari with him or her on the Dragon. I am a long time Ferrari enthusiast and have always wanted to ride in a Ferrari in such an event. If there are any interested owners willing to allow such an opportunity, please post on this thread or email me at [email protected] so that we can get acquainted. thanks and looking forward to seeing everyone there!

 

We need Golfers to fill out groups. So far we are at about 40 for the golf, about 30 cars on the Rally and almost 80 Rooms booked for the 3 nights.

The golf IS open to non-FCA players. Being a charity event we are opening it up for a few more groups to get more money for the kids.

PS--we have over 100k in donation pledges so far !!!!

I hope you all know that if you get a Hole-in-One on one of the par-3 holes there are Ferrari's (real ones--like 348's and such) as prizes!

 

Most folks are signed up with spouses, but I'm sure there may be a few "singles" driving The Tail. I'll have my wife with me, and not sure if we're driving the Ferrari or flying in, but if the Ferrari is there, I'd be glad to give you a ride even if it's just in the resort area.

 

on this event

 

driving their Fcars shipping them whats everybody doing im trying to decide whether to put 300 miles on each way or ship it

 

I'm going to drive mine the 350 miles each way if I can convince my wife to take the long ride. Otherwise, f you're shipping from Brentwood, I might consider sharing a carrier with you. I think Crawford is planning to drive his 355, though.

 

We'll be heading out Thursday - would love to have an F-car-avan. Let me know of everybody's plans.

I'm pretty sure JC is coming.... you there,JC??

 

Fcaravan what time and where on Thursday?

 

ATL area folks--

If anyone is shipping, please call me at 404-217-3750.

Alternatively, I'd be interested in a caravan.

Thanks,

Jeff

 

Crawford, sir, I am sorry that I can't go with you but I get to be in Mckinney,Tx that weekend. Have a great time and I'll try not to be such a chronic no-show the rest of the summer.

 

From now on I think all the drinks should be on you until you start showing up. Maybe an official reprimand by the FCA is in order as well.

 

You do realize, of course, that one more of these lame excuses will require us to take away your secret FerrariClub badge. Be careful...very careful

 

In keeping with the premise that all publicity is good publicity, the abuse being heaped on me by such luminaries as Crawford and Bob can only indicate that my star is fast rising!
Soon I'll be paid to attend parties, will quit my job, show up at all the events and buy drinks for the house!
BTW, Crawford, I looked for my badge and all I found was my AARP card. You know what that looks like, so call and tell me the difference!

 

And BTW Mr Biscan, since we're tight I am sure you can use your intimate relationship with the FCA to keep me from being reprimanded. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

 

Will you guys ever stop drinking? Disgraceful.
