    Hi Everyone,
    Exotics at Redmond Town Center for July 2nd is going to be Ferrari Day. We will be using the center of Redmond Town Center for Ferraris as a first priority and we'd love to fill the whole center mall with Ferraris. We ask that you be there by 8:30 so we can get the cars sorted and parked.

    By 9:30 we will start moving other exotics to the center mall to fill remaining spots should we not get enough Ferraris. This has been traditionally our biggest weekend of the year and with the weather looking good it should be a huge turnout.

    Drive to the usual parking area and we will direct you from there. See you Saturday!

    Okay gang, Tom has set a challenge for us. Let's fill up the center of the mall with Ferraris, so there is no need to "fill in" with other makes! ;)

    BTW, the NW Region Ferrari Club of America will be hosting a membership recruitment effort at this event. Both Don Wiedner our new Regional Director, and myself will be explaining the benefits of club membership, and discussing our upcoming events. We'll have instant look-up for recent members to make sure they're current, and we'll even have live sign-up.

    I hope to see you all there.

    Is there a reason why two threads were started about the same thing. :)

    You have to have two threads to tie them together. :)

    Why would the Ferrari Club plan a membership drive on the same day as the SOVREN Historic races to benefits the Seattle Children's Hospital?

    AMAZING TURNOUT TODAY!!!!!!

    At one time I counted 54 Ferrari's!!!! There were even 8 Maserati's (which I believe is the most at E@RTC)!

    As always, many thanks to Tom, Vic and all the parking thugs for making this a fantastic event!

    It was nice to renew my NWRFCA membership with Don too! How slick! Even got a cool Ferrari 333SP Hot Wheel for renewing! Thanks Don and Randi!!!!

    Super Duper great turn out today.
    I'm not sure what the officlal car count was today, but it looked like a record breaker for E@RTC. Someone mentioned it was one of the largest single turn out for Ferrari's ever in Seattle. Maybe Tom will report in with the official count. It just couldn't be a much finer day in Seattle for an event like this one.

    Many thanks to Don Weidner and Dave Handa for helping to organize this joint event with the NWRFCA and E@RTC.

    Bravo!

    You sound like this is some kind of conspiracy. E@RTC offered our typical peak weekend to be Ferrari day to benefit the merchants of RTC who support us all year. E@RTC does a number of charity events all year. You have no idea how these individuals support various charities around the city and shouldn't pass judgment about how people choose to spend their time. Never fails, no matter what we do, someone will always be there to complain about it.

    Vic, all together we had just over 160 cars. We had 61+ Ferraris alone.

    Outstanding!

    Today's event was all I hoped it would be. Great weather, a record turnout, and a hell of a lot of great people.

    Thanks to Tom and Vic for allowing the FCA and Ferraris to "headline" today... particularly on a reserved center courtyard day!

    Thanks to Greg W. for the phenomenal centerpiece cars!

    Thanks to Ferrari of Seattle for their support, and for really showing up in numbers today!

    Thanks to Dave and Annie, Dave T., and Randi for bringing the hardware and handling the logistics behind our membership booth today. We handed out 8 dozen Krispy Kremes, even more business cards, and shook a lot of hands today.

    Also of note was that many long-time FCA members actually showed up to RTC for the very first time today!

    Haha, I can't thank everyone enough. The spectator turnout was outstanding and everyone was thrilled to see that many Ferrairs in one spot. Considering we do this with nothing but volunteers, and we were very short-handed, it's incredible how well it all worked. I can't begin to express my gratitude. What a great exotic community! We heard over and over how many people had a great time, which is what it's about.

    We have a few things happening July 9. We have the Tesla guys coming out that day. We also will do a meet up for lunch down at Griot's Garage in Tacoma immediately following Exotics at Redmond Town Center. All of this assumes we have decent weather. Richard Griot has some terrific cars in his collection and it's a chance for all of us to all spend some time together over lunch.

    See you all next Saturday!

    Again, thanks to all the Ferrari folks who came out this past Saturday. What a great turnout!
