[DFW ITALIAN CAR STUFF] 2005 schedule

Heck yeah, another Exotic Car Night at Carsons!

 

Casino night at Lineback? Sweet.

 

ECN's only 60 days apart? That's unusual.

 

Good job, Tillman. You've done a lot of ground work to get the schedule out and avoid conflicts. Looks like lots to do with our cars. Thanks!

 

what is the lineback casino night? that sounds like fun. just the word casino gets me going.

any suggestions on the poker run? i'm out.

 

Thanks to the FCA for scheduling around ItalianCarFest. We are doing our best to build a national event and we recognize FCA support for the ICF weekend is very important.

SUNDAY Scenic Drive followed by Brunch. As a destination for the drive & brunch, we are working to include a Track Day on Sunday. Soon as we have it arranged, I will post it here and, of course, it will go into ICF promotional material and advertising.

Excellent idea Jerry for the track day on Sunday.

 

Jerry; count me in! I have been there every year and it just keeps getting better!.. If some of you have not made it to ICF you have missed a bunch. This is truly a great show!! Jerry and Bob put on a tremendous production which must require massive amounts of time and energy. We all need to attend to show our gratitude for their hard work. Not to mention all of the incredible vehicles that are on display.

 

Bad weekend for the ICF for us - that's the GP in Spa. Too many things, not enough weekends.

If you and John are going to Spa for the GP, takes lots of pictures! I will give you a first hand description of ICF and you can give a first hand description of the race at spa. I will supply the champagne!!!

 

Good evening Don,

Will do just that - sounds like a good deal! We've kinda made Spa an annual trek as it's our most favorite track - there is nothing that compares to the sounds of the cars running thru the forest admist the rain (almost a guaranteed thing at least one time during the weekend) or fog. Going to try sitting in silver 6 - Pouhon instead of silver 8 ***ness.

The ICF sounds like loads of fun - do you have any photos from last year to post??
