    This was on the FCA site as an event, but it is no longer on the site. Is there still a plan to attend the concours? I sent information long ago to them about club parking, but never received anything back.

    I am going to the Milwaukee event. Why these 2 nice events are on the same week end is sad.

    Kind of a funny story for the Geneva Show. My brother brought my son out to the show since he didn't want to wake up and go with Dad! My brother is driving around Geneva in his (new to him) Vette. He pulls up near the courthouse where the Corvette parking happens to be and they tell him to park with the Vettes. Well, OK, at least he finds a spot! He walks the show, hangs out for awhile and later in the day packs up to leave. As he gets in to drive my other brother home, he looks down and there's an award. He won Best in Class for 1997-2004 Corvettes!! His car is always clean, but he didn't even plan on going to the show, he was just looking to park!!!

    Looks like a good turnout, although it really is dumb to have 2 events in the same region on the same day. It does effect your concours, trust me. Many of the good cars you had this year have been to the Milwaukee Masterpiece already. Those split window 356's are real?? Those are rare. Saw one up at Milwaukee Sunday and it was also from Chicago. Did not know so many of those rare Porsche's were in the area.

    I would really like to go to Geneva again if they would only move it to a different week. I know alot of other people think the same thing(other than your shows organizers). Milwaukee can't move as it has to be the week after Pebble Beach since many cars come in from that event.

    What kept me from attending was that the Ferrari Club of America, Central States Region had the Geneva Concours listed on their events page and then took it off. And as late as the morning of the event, there was only one Ferrari confirmed attending here on F-Chat.

    Looks like it was a good show.

    The 356s had their own special area behind the courthouse. When I get home from work tongiht, I'll try to put up some pics of their area.

    +1 I was busy at 12 noon, but would have gone if I had some idea of how long the show was. Details on the show were not obvious, at least to me.

    What a shame that they continue to schedule this on the same day as the Masterpiece. :( Looks like a nice group of cars.
