Putting Together Car Show w/ Musk. Air Fair (Blue Angels)

I kind of like Andreas way of getting to and from by taking the ferry, so I will more than likely attend. With only one other 12 cylinder scheduled, I may take the 512 BBI instead of the 308 GTS QV.

Jerrari,I have a Red/Tan 1981 308GTSi. Will definitely be making the trip,same way as Andreas outlined. Looks like a Great weekend! Land-Water-Air....the ultimate combo...

 

Precisely my thoughts!

Frank, Dave, Dan, I think you should send Jerrari a PM to confirm your participation.

FOC Midwest will officially support this event and Pilota will run an ad for it. Hopefully we can get some more of our FOC members in WI and MI to participate as well. I'm thinking Saturday evening we (FOC and Ferrari fans alike) should have a little dinner together.

 

I did pm jerrari as he requested. I hope he got it.

 

He is on the road till tomorrow. His post doesn't reflect your car yet, I think that one 308 is mine.

 

I just 'P/M'd him,too.

 

308, 1984, red with a rear wing, which is why it likes airplanes so much


Dave's 512 BBi is black.

 

Haley and I are in.. probably bring the lil red GTO... and Lambo could use exercise..
The red car will be a bit different than everyone remembers as we are redoing everything over the next few weeks... don't want to spoil the ending but this is a MAJOR overhaul of every part of the car... and as with the Lambo all the mods are being done by us. This time we are going to have someone else do the paintwork, but we're doing the body mods, engine, interior, wiring, etc..
Brake and suspension upgrades...
Power is more than triple what it was too..
hmm... any road courses along the way? wanna race??
sorry hard to curb enthusiasm - had some decent news recently that means we can get this build done finally..

My 1985 308 gtsi is Red.

thanks

2 cars
Jerry, Lambo is a 1974 Urraco P250 see pics and buildup here:

The GTO .. well, as it's not authentic/original we know we shouldn't be front row really, but it's a red on black 62 250 GTO recreation. Last year it was a GTO inspired replica... this year it's moving up a bit ...a lot of body proportions corrected... I'll send some pics as progress happens, but I'll let this new info out of the bag.. we finally secured the V12 we were looking for.. it will be done in the next few weeks.

Think of it as a streetrod version of a GTO... looks right but faster and safer than original.. and it gets driven, a lot. The last few years we have gone on quite a few drives with the local group..
If no one wants to push their car for a runway run we will... also if you can get us some more details on the "Boss" deal we might be up for it.

That's fantastic news! Can't wait to see it. Sounds like you finally stretched the chassis and put in the proper engine. Amazing!

I'm up for the runway run as well. 250 GTO vs 308 QV. Somehow I know who's gonna win that one (reminds me of that scene from "Rockstar" with Mondial vs Batmobile)...But hey, just the bragging rights are worth the risks of a burnt clutch.

 

BTW Jerry, what would be ultimately cool is our own version of Jet vs Ferrari race. Kinda like Ferrari SpA does it in Italy. If Muskegon has a parallel runway/taxi way/service street we could have F16 vs Testarossa. Now THAT would be my kind of crowd pleaser. Heck, I'd do 308 vs Cessna if I could.

 

Wouldn't be fair - your car has a bigger wing.....

 

Jerry,

When is the last day we can notify you to be part of this? I like Andreas' trip across the lake bit and am considering attending the show on Saturday if free time permits.

Heads up!

You can now reserve your ferry tickets online:

https://rezweb.com/lakeexpress/

I just made my reservations for car and passengers. I suggest you do the same if you're serious about this event: Once the dates have been made more public, I bet many folks from IL and WI will use that ferry to make it to the show.

 

I made a reservation at the Shoreline Inn. Would be nice to have some drinks at the bar without the hassle of driving home.

 

Hey guys and gals, we should get together and plan this trip. Maybe we can get some discounts by booking together. Also we can all drive together. I know we will see each other karting but maybe we should meet earlier.

 

Not to pour water onto your fire, but we tried last year to get some kind of ferry discount and were too small a group to get anything. Also we'll be driving to Milwaukee the previous day to spend some time in Milwaukee. So we'll catch up with most of you probably on the noon ferry over.

It would be cool though if we could get our cars grouped together on the ride, just for the look of it.

 

Are you going to have signs posted next to the cars with some history like that? Would you like us to bring a sign or rather not?

 

I looked at the ferry times. Are you taking the 12:30 pm friday? Are you going round trip? When and time?
