    I suggest you guys check out Rte 32 near Crosby TN. It's 30-45 min from Waynesville NC. The Road is curvy as hell , with not a soul in sight at all and stradles the Great Smokey Mtn National Park. Once the road hits the state line of NC it turns into a gravel dirt road but there is a big turnaround spot. It's newly paved and did I mention it's curvy as hell? I know The Dragon, and The Snake (421) is really curvy but this road is right up there with them. I might have another person that might be interested in coming down with you guys to the meet (if it's ok?). He owns a Black on Black Lambo Gallardo and lives in the East TN area. Ken, Robert you might have heard or seen the car before.

    Hi John!

    I just stumbled on your post and wanted to tell you how jealous I am! :D. Makes me want to move back to NC! It sounds like you are really enjoying yourself up there. Will you be coming down for Cavallino in 2weeks? Let me know, it would be great to see you...

    Bob :D

    PS. For anyone who is considering John's invite, you will NOT be disappointed! John and his wife are PHENOMINAL hosts and truly wonderful people!!!

    If we're talking about the same person, and I'd bet a fair amount that we are, I'm very familiar with the car and the guy - he's my law partner LOL. I see that car in our parking lot a couple times a week. He lives up in Kingsport.

    If you need to change dates to increase attendance I have a flexible schedule.

    With all the cars in NE TN we should go driving in the mountains on a regular basis.

    On the few occasions when we happen to have our rides at work on the same day, you oughta see some of the looks on the Bank customer's faces when they pull in. A red Ferrari 328 on one side of the parking lot. A black Lambo on the other. That's quite a sight for upper East TN when you think about it.

    I looks like 7 people so far are interested in coming to the mountains in June, probably the 13th. To get a prospective on location:

    I am located 8 miles south of the Canton exit on I 40
    Locates 30 min weat of Ashville
    Located 30 min west of Ashville Airport on I26
    Located 2 1/2 hrs west of Charoltte
    Located 1 1/2 hrs from Greenville on I12, I40
    Located 3 hrs from Columbia
    Located 8 miles east of Waynesville
    I am just off Lake Logan Rd or US 215 - if you get off the Blue Ridge, you come north on 215 for about 8 miles.

    For housing, of course you have all the spots in Ashville but Waynesville is only 8 miles away and is very friendly, safe, and a great little mountain town. There is a small motel(Oak Park Inn) right on main st where you can easily walk all over town - restuarants, shopping etc.

    Lets plan on the weeklend of June 13 - please let any other Ferrari owners know about the event. I will let my Florida Ferrari owner friends know so I will pick up a few more people who have houses in the mountains -I will also be at Cavallino next week

    Why don't we call the event "June in the Mountains" so we can have a handle on it. If you are coming or have questions trying to decide, why don't you email me directly so I can set up a lists rather then going thru these postings over and over - my address is [email protected]

    Take care - see you in the mountains

    Does anyone know what the featured marque(s) is/are at the Euro Auto Festival in Greer in October? Their website has not been updated for 2009.

    Great to hear that you will make the summer get together - I know you will have to travel a ways - my sprint car team is Andretti-Edwards. Adam Andretti (John's brother) is my partner and driver. We are just having fun this summer hitting mainly tracks in the midwest but some in the south. Adam and his father Aldo(Marios brother) are just great guys and we have a blast together on and off the track

    Hey guys,
    I just wanted to jump in and let you all know that the FCA Board of Directors will be meeting tomorrow to put all the planned events on a calendar and also working on some other items as well. We didn't get the list of dates turned in by the deadline of the FCA newsletter and we apologize for that. We are going to be getting all the dates submitted to the FCA newsletter and also working on a NC Chapter Newsletter... Stay tuned!
