Need Lamborghinis: 2011 Connecticut Ferrari & Friends Concorso

Northeast guys,
I guess I volunteered to be the organiser for the Lamborghini side of this large event. I need to gather up as many Lamborghini as possible.
It is a Make-a-Wish, Childrens Hosp etc show, concorso, and police escort parade and drive with the kids.
An absolutely touching event.

Fathers Day, June 19th 2011
Farmington Polo Ground, Farmington, Connecticut
Fees per car : TBA but I sense very reasonable.
Local hotels will be involved if you need.

This large CHARITY event was a fantastic Ferrari-only show in Hartford at the State Capital. The new organisers have opened it up to ALL Italians and have moved it to The Farmington Polo Grounds. Closer for the NY/NJ guys.
AND opened it up to vendors.

It seems they want to make it simular to Le Belle Machine at Skytop. A GREAT event.

Please post your thoughts and possibility of participating.

PM me if needed. Or Patrick (countachqv)

Thanks, Peter Karam

As a personal note, I would love to have each model represented.

 

I really need a Miura for a promo shoot for the Concours in Farmington CT.
Anyone know of someone?
There are some collectors in CT That I'm trying to contact.

 

Or a Diablo or Murcielago.

 

Update November 8, 2010.... We had a meeting for the Ferrari and Friends Concorso at the Hartford Golf Club in West Hartford. We had 3 reps for Ferrari, one for Alfa, myself for Lamborghini plus Peter C, one from Make a Wish, one from CT Children's Medical Center Foundation.
This show is NOT your typical car show...especailly when the Dept of Defense is contacted about F-16 fly-overs (they do not do that for charity events), $1-2 million expected for charity, 3-6000 estimated attendance, a Polo match between Uconn and another U., etc.
For $10 parking and free admission...it is a great deal, especailly for families.

 

I am building a website for the show. I hope to have it up in the next couple of weeks. I'll post it soon.
We've had a couple of meetings. These guy really have a huge show on their hand.

I am working on making this a Countach reunion as well as a Lamborghini meet.

Benefits:
Make A Wish Foundation
Autism Speaks
Connecticut Children's Medical Center
The Village for Family and Children

 

Here a the website I have thrown together.

Northeast owners please please attend!!!!

This show has more cars than Pocono.

We need to make this a serious northeast Lamborghini event.

Ken, let me explain. It is because it ALL go to charity. And that is our, the owners, part.
Every part of this event has everyone giving, donating, helping etc.....that includes volunteers, the charities, even the kid's it benefits help and/or involved.

50 kids and 50 Ferraris....going on a 20 mile drive.........I wish they would let the Lamborghinis be part of that........I would LOVE to give a kid a chance in my Countach.
No one is going to charge for the gas. It is about giving.


This event has been going on with the Ferrari community for 10yrs and they have always been charged with never a complaint. $60 is a small fee for up to 3 cars. Plus, there is a goody bag, lots of things to do, and bring the family is very fun.

Paying $60 is such a nothing thing compared to what is going on at this event.

I can not imagine bringing my daughter to Pocono, she would be bored.
However, I am palnning on attending Pocono too.

On the other hand, if it were just a show, then I can understand why charge the cars.

I agree with Pocono date, I brought it up to the committee. They seem to not have a problem with Ferrari guys chosing or attending both in 10yrs.

 

Also want to mention that I am having a COUNTACH REUNION at this event.

I have a handful coming. I guess, my goal is to have 10 to 20 Countachs.

I know there are owners that just lurk here and I know who you are
You are more than welcome to PM me, email me from the website. I will help you out anyway I can.
If anyone needs storage, I have a 4-6 garage and barn.
I have hotels if needed.

 

Just a comparison.
I think the difference between this event and Pocono is the attendence.
I went to Pocono for the first time at Skytop. Great show but the crowd was sparse.....few hundred.
This event draws 3000-6000 spectator. So if you want your car seen...........

 

A handful of people have inquired. I really would like more.

I have several Countachs so far. There are more but I have not reached out to them.
Patrick has some more contacts.

I have realized over the years that Lamborghini owners are not the same as Ferrari owners.
Lambo guys are more private or to themselves. Ferrari guys are there when there is an event.
I know there are quite a few Lamborghinis in Connecticut. I will reach out to them.

And if you pre-register you'll get a bag of goodies ..t-shirt, plaque, etc.

Anyone interested please feel free to email: [email protected]

 

Went to Greenwich for the first time last year. Did not really care for it. Too hot, too may people, too small of a place. Much to my surprise, I have seen most of those car already. Parking sucked.

Probably will go to Pocono. And I think you and Peter C should come to my house and we all leave from there.....only 2hrs.

My fellow organizers are in discussion now about trophies. I'm not into awards or trophies or judging. Though I know many guys live for that.
