    Based on the totality of the list I think the person who put it together is not very Ferrari savy to put it politely.

    RIP Cavallino Classic, it was good to attend 1992-2005 and 2008.

    This sad state of affairs really makes me want to attend the FCA nationals in Elkhart Lake this summer for an article. Love the place and there will be actual historic Ferraris, THERE.

    Once upon a time, in another place, far, far, away, Ferrari guys were cool. Being a Ferrari owner meant you didn't have to try to be cool, you were cool. Unlike the poor P-bug, semi-Volkswagen owners, if you got in under rope, you were cool. I'm looking forward to Elkhart. I've never been to Road America. Post Labor Day in Cheese Head land sounds cool.

    they're not, although a minority like you and I disagree. they did an amazing job on restoration of my former car 104504. these were special cars with great race histories, more Hot Wheels models made than almost any other model, and who doesn't remember the famous 355 Challenge arcade.

    the new owner snagged a great piece of history by not kicking the tires and making a quick deal.

    That he did. I’m glad they restored it and weren’t bothered it was retubbed.

    you say that like that's a bad thing for a race car? :D ;)

    I wasn't bothered, you weren't bothered, they weren't bothered. no longer "spaghetti" as Dr. Earle use to call the old tub and the last 355 Challenge to be built fresh (2002). that engine was something special too as built by Risi, I think he let the 333 mechanics in there to do all their tricks.

    they should be going for $500k, but oh well, what a special car. I've started seeing a few break back down under 6-digits. I would love to get back in one except paying $6-8k for bearing hub corners after a track weekend, when I raced it was only about $1,500.

    Just got my ticket for Saturday’s concours (ouch!) so it looks like this old grump will be there. Going Sunday as well. Better find a blue blazer! :cool:

    Unless of course they see this thread and I’m denied entry :D If I suddenly disappear send out a search party!

    I noticed on the CC schedule they had no track day at all this year. Clearly that new track was too far away and pricing too outrageous to last...

    the view from the Seefood Bar …..PRICELESS!!

    PS how do young Ferrari dreamers even afford to get in. It’s turning into an old man’s club!
