    Thanks Don and Carolyn for planning another great Spring run! Great roads as usual, and a group that was enthusiastic about exploring their cars limits. :)

    Wades 355 sure sounds good when he passes you.

    I'm sure pictures will follow.

    Probably the best run we've done. Thanks Don and Carolyn for all your hard work putting this together. It was great to stretch those legs again. And your restaurant choice was perfect. Really good food to finish and exiting run.

    On another note, be sure to have those inspection and registration stickers up to date before any future runs :)

    A great time was had by all, or at least all but 2. 17 Ferraris and 32 people showed up to run the Strade di Primivera. It was 90 miles of really great roads and some pretty impressive elevation changes. The run went up through horse and oil country and ended up at Luigi's Italian Restaurant in Gainsville.
    I had hope that Bob Smith would be free to join us but when I contacted him he had prior arrangements as his daughter was getting married. So congrats to Bob and his family.
    We had some really great swag to give away and I want to thank Boardwalk Ferrari, Gas Monkey Garage and RAC performance for donating items to our swag box.
    As usual we had great people, excellent food, fabulous cars and tremendous conversation. here are a few pics.

    What a great run - we had a blast! Thanks again to Don and Carolyn or planning and organizing. Of course it's always great to see everyone. Good call on Luigi's - food was tasty and service was great.

    It appears that someone who shall remain nameless but drives a red 328 needs to learn about those "No Passing Zones". :)

    I think the above applies to a large percentage of the attendees.

    Looks like it started from a passing zone... Plainly apparent that there was no oncoming traffic... Clear conditions, well maintained road surface... Court of FChat finds the accused to have made a clean pass.

    The photographer, however, if it is who I think it is, is still on probation for distributing tasteless pictures of FChatters via electronic mail.

    As it seems like court is in session for the above accused... all in favor of a clean pass vote "Aye" and all that think it was an illegal pass vote "Nay".

    Not in any way a biased vote but I vote AYE!!! A perfecty legal pass. :p

    Only because I got out of the parking lot before you! That and your navigator error that put me handily back in the lead. For about a mile. And yours truly COULD be included in the "large percentage".

    Clean? Aye. Legal? Ask the guy in the picture talking to Derek with his hand on his gun. ;)

    I believe that violation led to a life sentence. And yes, Ms. Pits, we recall Carson's. Yes we do. All that attended remember. :p

    Looked and sounded like you two were having a little fun after leaving the restaurant. That was fun with the three Rosso Cavallino's headed south on an unmentionable interstate. Wish I could have kept up with you.
