Ferrari GTO Reunion, Napa Valley

Is anyone going to the GTO reunion Oct 21 thru the 26th in Napa Valley? Any suggestions on places to visit in the area?
Thanks

 

hey AZ, can you call everyone had have them re-schedule it for the 30th

i knew i should have scheduled my move to SF through ferrarichat

 

Any info on this meet? I'd love to get ahold of the organizers and make a F-Chat podcast out it.

 

All I know is that it is tour of wine country and the cars arrive on the 20th at the Meadowood Resort in St. Helena.

 

Maybe a dumb question, but are we talking about the 250 or the 288....or both?

 

250 GTO only, should be a great way to tour wine country!

 

anyone in the know want to PM me the route. id love to go ahead and get some nice action shots.

i promise to keep it a secret!

 

What i know it s near 22 cars represented for this commemoration of GTO 62/64.

Nappa valley and Laguna Seca too?

 

Greetings West Coasters!

I found out quite by accident of the Ferrari Reunion at Infiniti Raceway on October 24; any of you guys (or gals) have details on what will be going on? Me & the Mrs. will be in the Napa/Sonoma area the 22-24th, actually driving from Napa to Monterey on the 24th (doing a PCH tour down to Cambria.) I could probably sneak in a drive past Infineon on the way, but can't find a schedule anywhere.

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment!

 

You are correct. A quick check to Infineon Raceway's website confirms their reunion:

24 GTO's at Infineon Raceway are advertised for viewing on an invite I received....how many show may be another story..weather???

 

No Laguna Seca, just Infineon.

 

be ready it s for tomorow, someone go to see this commemoration? pics pics pics!

 

I'll be shooting at Infineon Raceway on Wednesday. I'll post photos for sure!

THANKS THANKS ANS THANKS!

 

Here is a single photo from the event. I took 200+, but I need to go through them. What a great day watching them circle Infineon. I even got a ride in one of them. Wow!!! And thank you to the owner, who I won't identify for his privacy.

Amazing day. Lots of video... and one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had....

I was getting ready to go for a media ride in one of the GTO's, Helmet on, door open, getting into the car... and they threw the checkered flag on the session.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

The owner was very gracious and very sorry we didnt get to take a lap or two. As I thank you I'll go buy a couple more of his albums .

I was bummed like you can believe... about to go for a ride in a GTO, driven by a musical legend... Damn, damn, damn.

 

WOW this is certainly a very historic event. Are there more GTO's reuniting at this event than there reunion a few years ago at the Monterey Historics? I hope you took some great photos because I am so eager to check them out! Happy to hear you got a ride in a GTO must be pretty sweet.

Thanks for sharing your photos to us

 

Nick Mason ????? What a treat !!

 

the Wes-Cam equipped copter taking footage of the cars was INSANE. It made a couple passes up and down the front straight about 50 feet off the deck. Same goes for a couple of passes it made going through 8-9-10. Damn it was low. The footage from that camera should be spectacular.

 

Here are a few "quickies" from today.
I'll post a link when I go through them all.

Anyone know whats going on tomorrow or Friday? I have the days off from work and would love to take a ride to see the cars! Thanks.

 

Wow! Lucky you guys to go and witness this spectacular event.

Choptop, I look forward to your footage! I'm sorry you missed out on a ride. If it is any consolation, I still have yet to ride in ANY F-car and there are 2 in my neighborhood!

Jim great shots! I can't wait to see the others.

Did anyone happen to see this 250GTO by chance? I saw it at a Paradise Valley Vintage car show and was floored by it.
