FOC

OK, OK... I finally joined the FOC.
When will the list of events be posted?

 

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!

List of events; what events??

 

Do not listen to this guy. He's from another universe!

Welcome aboard the FOC. Your humble FOC-Midwest board is planning the upcoming driving season and will be letting you know all the details soon.
Dave

 

Great! Thanks and I hope you selected "Midwest" as the region to support so our region gets the part of your dues to do events with.

Anyway, here is our provisional calendar:
http://www.focmidwest.com/services.html

Nothing too firm I realize, but we did that on purpose: Since we have this nice forum here on FChat, it probably suits more people to set dates more flexible on the fly than elect them months in advance.

 

Welcome aboard,Spike! Well,as Andreas posted,check out the site for some of this Years Coming Events that have already been planned. Most likely there will be a few more. Also,there are some Highlights of many,but not all,of the Events that we had last Year. We really had a good time...Both with our Bella Auto's,and the Comaraderie of other Ferrari Owners and Enthusiasts in our Area.

We have some really great plans for this Club. And as time progresses,and Membership grows,more Events will come to pass. We are just about now going into our 2nd Year. Still Growing. But,if you look at the Highlights. Our 1st. Year was pretty good.

And,we will have plenty of things to do,so that everyone can get a chance to get out and Drive. If you can't make one,there will be plenty more to enjoy.

Remember....The Motto of the Ferrari Owners Club is: "We Drive!" ...

 

Is ownership a requirement? For an individual who does not own a Ferrari (yet) but is interested in participating in the drives, etc., is membership allowed.

Again, I ask that you all bear with me as I am very much a newcomer to the world of Ferrari.

Ownership is not a requirement. Amazingly enough; I found that out after I became an owner, so could have joined a long time ago (as I did with FCA before owning the car).

Ownership nor membership are requirements for participation in the drives. At least for now. However membership gives you several benefits like the monthly magazine, the club directory, access to FOC memorabilia and last but not least eligibility to win a trophy on some events.

 

I joined without a Ferrari. Everybody I've dealt with from the club has been great, and I have always felt welcome at club events.

 

Hmm. We have to change that.

 

Well, at least this way I see exactly what I'd be getting myself into.

 

Yes, I added the midwest section to the dues!

Big request:
Please have the indoor carting event in March towards the end of the month. I'll be out of town around the 10th.

I was checking FVM's site, no date on the track event. But its at Gingerman, which I have wanted to go to. No FCA event there this year (d@mnit!)

 

And a much better one, I might add!!!

 

I say a vote is in order.

That's one thing about FOC Midwest; we do try to accommodate our members.

Skip,(The buck stops here)

 

Your wish is my command: http://www.thebestemployee.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45966

 

Yes,I will be in Sunny Scottsdale,Arizona from March 24th. to April 4th. So,I can't do the 26th.,27th. either.

March 3rd.,(Sat.) or the 4th. (Sunday-Also the Australian GP)

March 12.,(Sat.) or the 13th.,(Sunday)

March 19th.(Sat) or the 20th. Sunday-Also the Malaysian GP)

Does anyone know if either of these Races will be broadcast in the Late Morning or Early Afternoon? The Kart Track has some BIG Screen TV's.... It would be great to watch the Race there.

 

BTW...If anyone is Interested in joining the Ferrari Owners Club,(F.O.C.) (And,you do NOT need to own a Ferrari to be a Member...All you do need is the PASSION....) I have some Brochures that tell what the Club is all about,and Applications. Just send me a "P/M" and I can mail you one if you'd like.

Also,we will be discussing it at the Karting Event in March.


Hope to see everyone there. And,hope that you will seriously consider joining the Club. It really is a Great Club with several nice Perks and Benefits. You can't go wrong. Definitely worth it.

 

We're slowly growing: Just got another email from a new member in Iowa who wants to join us in Chicago for some events.

Also we have now a date for Cruise Night in West Chicago: August 16, trophies will be courtesy of Double K Productions

It's nice to see the club is growing in membership and events.

 

O.K. Ladies and Gents. February 15th.,I will be 45....half way to 90..... ...?
So,I want to enjoy my Ferrari as Much as I can....Life is Toooooo Dang Short......And,I want to enjoy it with all of the Great Ferrari Brethren that I've met these past few Years. And any New people who share this wonderful Vice...this Passion that has taken us over....(O.K.,O.K... Enough Drama... )

So,for every New Member that joins this February,and Existing 'Ferrari Owners Club' Members here in the Midwest Region (only). I will make you a Personalized,Custom Dash Plaque just for you. If you don't want to put it on your Dash,you can put it on your Console,wherever. And,whatever car you have. Doesn't matter. It's yours with your F.O.C. Membership to the Midwest Region. For February,only,this is my Gift to you for joining the F.O.C. (Sorry....offer only good to Midwest Region Applicants).

Your choice of Plate-Gold Color,Brass,Silver Color,Chrome or Brushed Aluminum.

So,in addition to the things that you get when you join the F.O.C. And,the Monthly Magazine,'Pilota'. The Ferrari Owners Club Yearbook. And the Benefits and Perks of Membership,both now and in the future. I will make you a Custom Dash Plaque for your Car.

I will call you back,and tell you all of the Benefits of Membership,and send you a Pamphlet and Membership Application. Also,remember....you do NOT need to own a Ferrari to be a Member of the F.O.C. All that you DO need is the Passion that we share! But,maybe some day will want to. Either way,you are Welcome to join us at any Drive and Event that we do.

(This is My offer only,Not endorsed by FOC National)

 

Oh you rebel, you!

I like it! If I extend my membership with FOC, can I get one too? Here's the text:

308 QV, 1984
#333 of 1253

 

Yes....like PeeWee Herman said...."I'm a Loner....a Rebel.....(Sneer).... "

 

My offer still stands. And,am adding Black Plate to the Gold,Brass,Silver,Chrome and Brushed Aluminum. These will have: Ferrari Owners Club. Your Name. Your Car,Year,Make,Model, (S/N if you'd like)


These really do look nice in your car-on the Dash,(Glove Compartment Area,mostly) Or,anywhere you want,really. The Console....It Really Personalizes your Car,especially at Car Shows,when there are several "Like"Cars,(Red 308's,for example) and you want everyone to know which one is yours.

 

Come on,Folks...You really don't know what you are missing here. The F.O.C. is a Great Club. You get a Monthly Magazine,'Pilota',that has all sorts of Ferrari "Insider" Stuff. We are in it every Month....A Great Keepsake.

Also,You get the Yearbook,where you will be in,amongst other great F.O.C. Members like Legendary Racer Phil Hill...And,a few other Benefits that I can tell you,in person.

Also,as time goes on,Member Discounts on Events that we do...Entry Fee's,(Track Days,too.),Hotel,Meals,Etc...

So,really consider it....The benefits are really there. And,there will be more as we grow. It's definitely worth it...

 

Belated happy birthday from Haley and I Frank !
Haley has been reading a bunch here and called me at work today asking about joining FOC.. she told me to ask ya to send info and she'll send $ immediately. .. her e-mail is [email protected]
I keep telling her to just create an account here
See ya at the karting event!
Chelle

 

Fantastic!!!!.... Yes,You can check out www.focmidwest.com. Or,if you want,I can send you an Application. Just 'P/M' Me as to where to send it. But,you can do it "On Line". Or,if you want,I will be bringing along a bunch of stuff to the Karting Event on the 19th... And we can tell you more about it.

I saw Jack Stanley and a Buddy at the Auto Show,today,and gave him a couple of Applications. He said that he was a Member before,but,the club wasn't doing anything. Same as when I first joined...which is Exactly the reason the I got the Idea to "Ressurect it"....

Yes,there truly are Lots of Great Benefits from Membership. We do not get a "commission" or anything by signing up more Members. It's just that it's a really great Club,with some really great Benefits that we'd really like to see everyone else get a Chance to Enjoy...

And,as we grow,there will be even more Benefits. Like Member Discounts on all of our FOC Events. And,lots more....

Okay Frank. You put me over the edge. New membership app mailed today. $105 for FOC, $15 for Midwest, and $8 sent for an additional name badge for my son. I think its money well spent.
