I will be there. But not sure if my German car would fit in amongst the Italians.

So, this past Friday we had a nice intimate group meet up at Boardwalk Ferrari for a drive down to Austin, taking back roads as much as possible as always. We stopped in Hico for lunch at The Chop Shop where we met additional members for our continued drive to the track! While there were numerous opportunities for police interactions, we made it all the way to Circuit of the Americas with zero interactions, if you know what I mean.

Once at the track, everyone got acclimated with special Ferrari parking , where hospitality was located, and most importantly where all the race cars are !!! We headed back to the 4 Seasons to change and get ready for the welcome event being hosted by Ferrari North America at the Bullock Texas State History Museum. Food, drinks, entertainment were all included, what a great time! Saturday morning, it was a 50/50 split... Some members met up for breakfast at Ferrari of Austin where we met other members from all across the state. From there, we had a police escort down to Buda to meet up with San Antonio members, then over to the track for a grand entrance into the Ferrari corral. From there everyone spent the day taking test drives in FNA provided SF90's & 296 GTS's , getting rides on track in race cars, kicking back in Ferrari hospitality, talking with drivers and team members, owners lapping in their own cars, getting some spa time, and so much more! Saturday night was an open evening for dinner, then back to the hotel where we met on the outside deck overlooking lake Austin and having a few drinks all while telling stories from the day.

Sunday morning, cold weather and lots of wind arrived in Austin, so with long pants and jackets on, we made it back to the track for another day of racing and Ferrari fun. If you missed the races on Sunday, you should look up Ferrari Challenge Circuit of the Americas April 2023, turn up the volume, and enjoy! Members made their way back home one by one again with no police interactions or problems... but with considerably more photos and memories then they had Friday morning!
