    I joined the FCA but haven’t yet been able to attend any events. Not sure I’ve even heard of FOC. What’s the actual name?

    Is the FOC still alive in the U.S.? I have heard NOTHING about the FOC in this country in the 15 years that I've owned a Ferrari.

    I know that in some other countries the FOC is the official owners' club, but I think in this country it's strictly the FCA.

    Completely agree. Looked really nice online but is so much better in person. The previous owners took very good care of the girl.

    You bought a great car from a great store. Jeff and Joe are excellent guys who shoot straight. The FOC is primarily a west coast club with one active chapter in the Sarasota, FL area. In the South East, the FCA is the active club. Great events and a super fun group of members. We are in Hilton Head this weekend for a rally. There is another event in Ashville the first weekend of June and there is an awesome event each Fall in Chattanooga. A track event at VIR was just a few weeks back. Join the FCA and come run your new car with us.

    The Asheville/ Biltmore event promises to be fun. It will be my first FCA event, and our first driving trip in the Fcar!

    FOC was more of a west coast club and that was 20 something years ago.

    On auto.ferrari.com, if you search the owners' clubs listings, the header says "Ferrari Owners' Club of America" but after that the word "Owners'" disappears and the entire text is about the FCA. The implication is that either the FOC here has been folded into the FCA or that it otherwise no longer exists. So the FCA is it in the U.S. and Canada.
