Ferrari Challenge Miami-Homestead Speedway March 13 and 14 2010

This is one of my two favorite Ferrari events of the year. Glad to hear they will have the FXX and the F1 cliente on track. Any guesses how many FXX / F1 cars will be there to watch?
I'm calling for a caravan!!!

Will there be a general admission price for those who can't do the breakfast and lunch? I know in the past you could pay just to get in and was hoping that was still an option.

 

Sounds like fun....Would love to check out the 599XX!

 

Woah 599XX.. thanks for posting this!

 

The Homestead Speedway website calendar shows that general admission is $10.

Thanks Bill!

That's what I was hoping to hear. If it's anything like it was in 2007 it will be mind blowing.

 

To avoid confusion the day of the event: General admission does not include the hospitality tent, nor the breakfast and drive down for Ferrari owners. If you want that, it's $120 per person, and you need to preregister with Nick at The Collection. However, for anyone who just wants to go watch, $10 to get in to see everything is a fantastic deal!!!

 

Can't wait!! My favorite event of the year no doubt, this year is definetly not a year to miss.

 

$10 for general admission is the greatest deal of the year. Now I just have to figure out how to go to both Amelia and this one.

I would recommend eating before you get to the track and avoiding the so called "hot dogs, burgers, and pizza" they sell. I made that mistake once at the last event and it was really, really bad. :barf:

 

What is the 'best' day to go - 12, 13 or 14?
And at what time?

 

Saturday. In the past, Saturday has been the best day, Sunday was the Challenge races, but contact the Collection for a schedule.

 

Southwest Airlines to JAX in the afternoon.

 

if anyone has a cut and paste schedule kindly post it up

 

I've always gone on Saturday, and seen everything including the race.

Plus, I will be at the high-speed runway event on Sunday anyways.

 

count me in!
