    Dino has done it again and is organizing another one of his fine exotics concours at Excueses Bar & Billiards in Des Plaines.

    This is a very informal event where anybody with an exotic can participate for free. FOC Midwest will have 5 trophies for:
    - Best Ferrari pre 1995
    - Best Ferrari post 1994
    - Best modified Ferrari
    - Peoples' choice

    and since the organizer is aptly named Dino:
    - Dino's choice :)

    Dino will post the details, here some pics from the last time we had this fun event. And yes, I'll be there as well.

    Awesome, we rarely get Mondials at our events, so it'd be a thrill to see 'her'.

    Will the Pope be there as well? ;)

    Looking at your flyer I just realized that this is probably the most efficient car show there is year round: 2 hours after registration the trophies are being handed out

    Having been to seemingly endless shows I'm sure many on here appreciate the brevity of your event and are happy to carry on with their busy schedule.

    So folks, if you like to participate in a car show where you stand an excellent chance of coming home with a trophy for your Ferrari, this is the place to do it in the shortest possible time!

    So do the cars start coming in @ 9:30? And when does it end? Approx.

    No problem glad you like the new approach I took this year, and of course people are more than welcome to stay around after the trophies are handed out. But at least this way we eliminate the lag of trophies being awarded and members not being there to claim them.

    I like your approach and it does make your event unique and addresses the habits of today's busy times.

    I heard that there is a drug dealer from Wheaton operating out of Des Plaines. I was informed he is meeting with his cronies on the 14th of May.

    Maybe you should follow that lead? And since you want to be undercover, you shouldn't bring the swat car, but perhaps something that blends in more with the other cars? You know, like a red Porsche for instance...

    Please let me or Andreas know if you're planning on coming so we know how many spots to block off for fchat members so they are all together.
    Thanks.

    Also registration ends at 11:00 so that there is enough time to judge cars before trophies are awarded.
