Chattanooga Motorcar Festival

Nice photos. Dino and Daytona are the same colors as my old ones.

 

I unfortunately didn't make it this year, had to go out of town but from the pics it looks like I missed a good one.

 

We had such an amazing time at this event. SO much to do, so many amazing cars and we met so many great people. You can see the rear wheel of my white Porsche 944 Turbo in the photo with the incredible Speed Yellow 911 Turbo S. If you have not done this show, I consider it a "Not to be Missed" event.

 

I believe it’s CYNDEO wealth partners that puts the event on. They’ve asked me to come two times and I’ve had to regret both. By the look of the pics etc, it looked like a really fun event .

 

This was the 4th one. It grows bigger every year. If they make the racecourse a little less sketchy, it'll be awesome... such a cool idea.

I was there. Coco Chinetti was a judge for the Ferraris assigned to my other halfs judging team. He was a lot of fun. We wound up going to dinner with Luigi, his wife, Jim Weed from FML, Kip Wasenko from from GM styling and his wife. Had a great time. Chip Foose and Wayne Carini were both there. Very broad spectrum of great cars from all eras.

 

Local benefactors I am told. Money to a near and dear charity. Someone had some juice. LM was from Indy museum collection.
They covered hotel rooms for judges and gave us a nice private place to hang out with food and drink for a couple of days.

 

It was a fun event with plenty of nice cars. Ferrari had a very strong showing from rare classics through the newest models. I was told the event was started by the Defoor brothers who are successful (obviously) local developers. We attended on Friday and the attendance was fairly light but I suspect the traffic picked up on the weekend.
