Ferrari Day at Redmond Exotics (RTC) 2017

So weather.com says there is an 80% chance of rain but if the event isn't cancelled, who all is bringing a car?

 

Not me. I wish.

 

I was planning to go. I usually only make it to ERTC a couple times a year...and Ferrari Day is one of them.

 

when is ferrari day?

 

This Saturday June 10.

 

You going Kerry? I haven't seen the 330 crusing around Samammish lately.

 

The 330 is getting new shoes, so it's off the road until I get the wheels repainted and the new tires on.

I'll be there with the 308, assuming that the weather cooperates.

 

Good. I'll stop by and say hello.

Unfortunately, my 400i still has the exhaust removed and my other Ferrari is still on the boat.

 

I was planning on driving up. It's disappointing about the weather forecast, this would be the 2nd year in a row of rain for Ferrari day at ERTC I believe.

 

plan on coming over from Yakima, if weather cooperates .

 

It will probably push to another Saturday.

 

Now down to 60% chance of "PM" rain.

 

It's looking better and better!

 

Remember last year?

If no rain, I'll be there.

Now it says cloudy with 20% chance of rain!

 

I might do this. I've never been to one. I looked at the website, sounds like you just show up with your car, right? Other questions:

Should I bring a lawn chair? How about a Lil' Red Wagon? (for trophies)
Do I need to put stuffed animals on the dash?
Are mannequins of children peeking in the car required, or strongly suggested?

 

Starts officially at 9am...I would arrive at 7:30am for a decent parking spot. A lawn chair? I guess if you are planning to be camped out by your car...most wander around and look at all the other incredible cars.

 

Mannequins are highly encouraged

 

Ferrari Day is on for tomorrow.

Lets hope the rain stays to the south like the forecast predicts. If not, the cars really won't melt in the rain.

 

Nader, this is more like a cars and coffee type event with this time being a focus on Ferrari. There are no awards, trophies, or even a stage or "event" itself. There are volunteers to tell you where to park and help you not hit a curb etc. This usually lasts a couple hours with 50% of the people gone around 11am. You'll probably want to walk around and see the other cars but if you like, bring a lawn chair.

You car should be clean, you should show up early. My experience is most of the later model ( I have a ferrari ) guys will show up around 8:30 to 9am. The enthusiasts (nut jobs) like me will show up at 8 or earlier.

 

Car doesn't need to be clean. I was a big fan of the dirty and driven 575 Superamerica gated. Car is worth so much money and yet it was as dirty and used as a normal car. I loved it.

 

Man, I would have attended, but the kid has the first swim meet of the season. Kids...

I was kind of kidding about the staging. I've been to only a few car shows, and there have been some nutty presentations with wagons, dolls, even mannequins. The farthest I'd go is dressing for the period of car, but I don't have any grungy enough sweaters or flannel for my '91.
