Homestead Challenge Race

I'm in for two days. Plan to stop by Shelton to register.

 

Its a great event guys. For those that like racing this is the day to go.

Glad Shelton and ther Collection can make this happen again.

 

$100 to watch cars go around the track?? seems kinda high

 

It's the same weekend as Amelia Island Concours...which is the East Coast Pebble Beach, not to be missed...

 

1 day admission to the track.
Parking at the Ferrari corral for Ferraris only.
Full day of catering and hospitality (continental breakfast, lunch, drinks, and snacks).

It's worth every penny....

 

IMO, the most exciting event of the year.

 

Amazing event!!!

I am really bummed out that I will be leaving for Spain on March 10th...........

However, perhaps I can make it on Friday, before leaving for Spain!!!

 

Last year you can get in for general admission in the neighborhood of $20. The $100 gets you in the Ferrari tent, and the food (Italian of course). It was worth the price of admission even if you can only go one day.

 

I noticed that also. Amelia is just incredible. It is so well done.

I am thinking of going to Homestead on Friday, flying up to Jacksonville late Friday night, flying back Saturday night, and then going to Homestead again Sunday.

 

It is not cheap, but is well worth the $100 to me. Definitely one of the top Ferrari events of the year. Unless something dastic happens I plan on buying the same as last year. Two VIP tickets for Saturday only.
I'll confirm and send my info to you Will. Thanks for making this available.

$100 is a bargain, considering the gourmet catering and drinks. Hell, I'd pay that just to get close to the F1 cars.

I believe the general public can attend for less money, $15 if I recall. But they won't have access to the VIP Food and beverage tent, where I had lunch with Roger Penske and Helio Castroneves last year.... Way cool.

 

I would pay if I would not work that weekend with one of the teams. It is excellent and I am happy that finally FNA started promoting this series a lot more and made it into a spectator event. All the support we can give them, we should.

 

This is just a few weeks away.

 

What happens if the event is rained out? I just sent my request for the Saaturday VIP thing. Yahoo!

Bump. I am already tasting the Big Cheese after the big day at the track! Caravan down like last year?

Just made all of my flight/rental car/hotel reservations yesterday... I'll be there with videographer extraordinaire TMINUS...

 

What is the schedule for the two days? Does anyone know? I called The Collection and they have no idea what is going on. They said the event starts at 7:30 and ends at 5.

 

Last year the track alternated four track groups between the 430 Challenge cars, the FXX, private street cars, and the F1 Cliente cars. Each group was out about three or four times IIRC. I think it is similar this year. We got there last year at around 9:30 or 10 I think and I left at around 4 or 4:30 so that I would arrive at the BIG CHEESE at the correct time for pizza.

Better than $100 to see cars parked on a lawn, no?

 

Undoubtedly
