"Ferraris at Morrison" Events & Registration

Hello all,

Once again, CAFE is proud to let you know about our events and open up registration for our Third Annual "Ferraris at Morrison". Morrison is a new upscale living/shopping/dining center in the South Park area of Charlotte. Below you will find a listing of the activities for Friday, September 26 and Saturday, September 27. If you'd like to sign up for any of the events and/or register your Ferrari(s) for the show, please email me at [email protected]. I will email you a registration form. We of course welcome any and all who would like to visit us on the day of the show. There is no charge for spectators. I am including a photo (below) of last year's field so that you can get an idea of the scope of the gathering.

See you there!

“Ferraris at Morrison” • Friday Events • September 26

9am - 1pm: “Hooky Run”

What better excuse to play hooky from work than a fabulous run through the scenic Carolina countryside?!?! We’ll gather at Velocity in Southwest Charlotte, then head out for a spirited drive through the winding roads outside of Charlotte. After stopping for a pay-your-own lunch, we’ll continue making our way back to finish around mid-day.

4pm - 7pm : “Fantail” Reception

Later, we’ll caravan up to the North Harbor Club on Lake Norman for a relaxing evening at the marina. Mastercraft of Charlotte will have various watercraft on display while we enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres and beverages provided by our gracious hosts.

Wow Mike, that is sounding GREAT!! Anyone not attending the reception is certainly going to miss out...

On that note, while the show registration is closed, everyone can still take part in the Friday morning drive, the "Fantail" reception Friday afternoon/evening, and the Gala Party Saturday evening. Just let me know ASAP at [email protected] if interested.

And of course, we look forward to seeing all our friends who aren't showing as visitors at the Saturday show from 11am-3pm. There is no charge for spectators and we will need your help to determine our award winners!

Well, we did it again - with everyone's support and enthusiasm, we were able to turn a very "iffy" day into yet another great CAFE event!! With both threatening weather and the local gas crisis conspiring against us, many still braved the odds and came out to be part a great field... not only did we have our registered Ferraris, many brought out their "specialty cars", and FCI had a number of vehicles on display as well.

...and the awards for this year go to:

Classic 8-Cylinder:
Jeff Hillegass 1986 328 GTS

Modern 8-Cylinder:
Duncan McPherson 2006 F430 Spider

12-Cylinder:
Mike McKenzie 1990 Testarossa

Children's Choice:
Duncan McPherson 2006 F430 Spider

Ladies' Choice:
