    Just wondering if any Ferrari or Ferrarichat members are interested in meeting up and driving from Chicago area to road America for this weekends events?

    Maybe lake forest sports cars would be a good starting point?

    First post - welcome!

    I'm planning on driving up Saturday morning and would welcome a caravan of fun cars. I'm starting out in Aurora/Naperville area so LFSC is right on the way. I also would meet up with anyone else out my way first if there is anyone out here going.

    Nice to see somebody who doesn't leave the f-car at home when there is a threat of rain. Bummer it interfered with the event today. I'll be in my red F430, and if I see you I'll definitely introduce myself.

    Weather looks better for tomorrow. :)

    Sorry Joe. I sent you a PM that I was delayed and unable to meet this morning. You must not have gotten it. I'm sorry for any delay it caused you. I'm finally able to head up so maybe we will cross paths there.

    The event summary is updated on the FCA-Central States:

    http://www.fcacentralstates.org/events/event-calendar/?iNewsID=816

    FNA & the Challenge has really increased non-Challenge car participation and attendees are in for a tremendous time. Be sure to register for the Ferrari / Challenge Car parade from RA to Elkhart Lake as space is limited

    Hey Doc. I am working all the possibilities to try & make this happen. I would really like to run up to Continental with you & then join the group. Can you imagine the Stradale & the 458 on a b-line to Ogden Avenue? I should know by the weekend if this is a possibility.

    I RSVP'd to Lisa that I'd go. Figured probably safer to drive up as part of a pack when taking a conspicuous red sports car with IL plates over the border. Of course, will prob be the sacrificial lamb in the 308 when the WI troopers don't want to chase down 488s:)

    Mike just saw your post here - sorry. Didn't see you nor your car so I guess you were probably busy and couldn't make it.

    We will some other events in the future! :)

    Its alright Doc. A local 360 spider needed some surprise care before a long promised trek to Michigan & I needed to lend a hand for a few days getting it ready. That ate into my availability. For now I have to live vicariously through you!

    Hey Brian, it was great meeting the group and great talking to you as well. Had to depart early because of my 2 yr and 10 mon old :)

    But definitely keep in touch for any future drives in the midwest! Or maybe we can do our own thing and get a group of people to do a drive.
