    And the ultimate Germany vs England battle and Argentina destroying Mexico. :)

    Cars normally show up after 10am, with most cars in place after 11am and then lunch.

    So depending on where you live you can make the race, the first game, the event and the second game.

    Nice turnout despit the morning thunderstorms. I'm having technical problems with my camera, so I can't post any pictures yet.

    Food was delicious as always and I appreciated Drew and his friends for not spoiling the GP results. I realize it was a bit of a stretch to come to a Ferrari event while the race is on TV and expect people not to spoil it. So double thanks for that. I enjoyed it at home not knowing the outcome at all. Even made it back in time to watch Argentina clobber Mexico.

    Will post pics once I have fixed my technical gremlins.

    PS: The first Ferrari club event where only one 308 shows up in a long time (none I can even remember before).

    Great pics Dave!

    All I can say is I still miss Joe, he was one helluva guy! Had some great times at the Marchetti estate!

    Anyone remember 'Ferrari Fantasia?'

    So do, Joe even welcomed my Daytona R there twice. That was the best Ferrari event each year back in the days, and hands down the best food! I'll agree Joe was a great guy.

    Thanks.

    No particular lens, the picture is a computer generated composite of 3 standard shots.
