Dinos in the Desert, Nov 6-12th, 2019 FCA International meet

Dino Tifosi,

Save the date for the International Ferrari Club of America meet next year. As part of the FCA International meet in Scottsdale, Arizona Nov 6-12, 2019 Peter Volny/Rob Biddle want to extend a special invitation to Dino owners with a focus on activities for Dinos. The Welcome arrival is Wed, concours on Thu, and the rest are open to driving/track days. As of today there are six (6) single day drives planned, each of them perfect for a Dino in 3rd gear.

Arizona has some of the best SouthWest scenery in the United States and also some of the best weather with only 22cm of rain per year. This is serious car club country and home to events like "The CopperState 100" which take vintage cars you through the curvy hill climb of Jerome on to Oak Creek Canyon's Red Sedona rocks and concluding at the Grand Canyon.

Speaking with Matthias this past week he is excited to attend, Cannonball Jack May has been invited and there are several professional exotic car storage and securing warehouses if you wish to ship your Dino.

Please consider saving the date and attending, the desert sunsets are great this time of year!

TRACWRAP PAINT PROTECTION OPTION
- Have Great Dino paint and want to protect it first before putting it on the road?

I recently had the chance to try Xpel TracWrap on a 2300 mile delivery trip in my new GT3 Touring. After 5 rain storms and 3 dust storms (1 was mostly tumbleweeds) I am sold on this product. The paint was thoroughly protected.
- The best thing? How easy the TracWrap removes!

We are pairing with Xpel to offer TracWrap at a group pricing rate. Please let me know if you'd like more details

 

what would be an approx cost to ship a car from Chicago area to Glendale? That's where I would stay. I don't want to fill out a online call back for pricing. Anyone know pricing?

 

can someone give a brief explanation of the event. Meet in Scottsdale on Wednesday and the concourse is Thursday and then there are short touring drives?

 

Absolutely.
The first paragraph of www.DinoRally.com summarizes it, but more details are on the official FCA website

btw whats the earliest a car can arrive to the site in Scottsdale Tuesday?

 

oh where is the concours field located?

 

found it Scottsdale sports complex

 

Famous Ferrari photographer and Dino owner, Günther Raupp , invited and responded
"this would be the ultimate dream of my life! I had a couple of contracted car shootings at these areas – but of course not Ferrari.
Yesterday was the anniversary: I have mine [Dino] since 38 years"

From a 2 min look in the register, I believe his is 06756

 

I signed up a couple of weeks ago and just booked the hotel today. So I will be bringing my GTS, SN 04004

 

Are you promising to attend?
(please)

 

Please be careful near the edge of the Grand Canyon

https://www.abc15.com/news/region-northern-az/flagstaff/third-person-dies-at-grand-canyon-in-past-eight-days

 

if you have a decent number of Dinos attending, I will make it to AZ in November...
planning to fly out to Japan this month to attend their annual meeting… they will have a line up of approx 30 Ferrari Dinos 206 GT / 246 GT/GTS

 

Great, with you that will make 3 Dino Concours judges attending.

This is going to be a very fun event and I look forward to our daily 5pm social hour! One of the coolest things about Matthias' 50th Anniversary celebration last July were the small pockets of discussions at the social hours. You could shift between small groups and stumble upon a bunch of interesting Dino chat

 

I am placing DinoRally.com ads in Regional Ferrari Club newsletters around the USA and the ad in the Pacific Region FCA was just released, yielding a group registration from the Bay Area. They have a Dino Transporter registered with 3 Dinos from Silicon Valley/The Bay area. These are serious Dino lovers!

 

A nice couple of Dino owners from Germany met you at Essen and contacted me after you mentioned the DinoRally.com. Thank you for the referral.

There will be 5 spots for overseas Dino owners not in Dinos (but please never overtake Dinos due to road pebbles).
Glad to have you along, I may need someone to drive the offroad Jeep Rubicon

 

CopperState Rally photos are in, these are a good preview of how picturesque the region is
