    Of the eleven supposedly coming to North America, eight of them are Miami this weekend for the Challenge.

    So good to live in Florida.

    Woah!!

    Thanks for the info, I wonder if the 'yet to be seen' yellow FXX will be there. Oh and does anyone know what type of TV coverage will be available for when the FXX Challenge races take place in Europe?

    Yes. The yellow FXX is in fact at Homestead. CNBC was there, but I have no idea why.

    On Friday, there were seven different red FXX's, and one yellow. NNO recorded the serial numbers to verify.

    Today, this was one incredible event. I can finally say I saw a Formula One car race in Miami. Acrually three late year Schumacher cars, one Alboreto turbo, and a 60's beauty.

    PHOTOS WILL BE POSTED IN THE FLORIDA SECTION.

    No poet, I just have an appreciation for women (of which there was a fine selection at Homestead today), and for cars that ooze emotion.

    If you really want fine women though, they put something in the water in the Ukraine, Belarus, and Columbia that produces incredible beauties.

    To add to the information provided by MM, Henn used to own the Swap Shop Racing team that campaigned a Porsche at Sebring and Daytona, along with a few tries at LeMans. The cars were driven by many, most notable Bob Wolleck and A.J. Foyt.

    If you are ever in Ft. Lauderdale, Preston has an active business of running drive-in movie theaters that during the day host "swap shops" (bourse?). At the main location on Sunrise Bloulevard, Henn has established his Ferrari Museum. His extensive collection of Ferraris is on display.

    Not to forget that Preston's daughter Bonnie raced his 512 BB LMs, and other comp cars too. And Preston - in the night - has drive-in cinemas, where the daytime flea markets are being held. And, yes, btw, besides Ferraris, he also owns a Porsche Carrera GT, a Mercedes SLR McLaren, a special Corvette, and a whole bunch of other exotic machinery.
    Preston Henn's first Ferrari was a 250 Europa (0343 EU) which he got in the early 1960s. He opened up his drive-in cinemas the day when President Kennedy was killed in Dallas.
