    There is no rain date. The show will go on rain or shine. You have to understand that we have tents for dealers and vendors arranged and set up the day before, meals ordered for all who registered, vendors are coming from all over, sound system, etc. It is a lot of work to put this all together and there is just no way to set a "Rain Date." The local Reading, PA weather forecast I saw this morning showed Sunday to be cloudy but the rain should be over on Saturday.

    I just checked the weather forecast on 2 different sites. Both sites are now saying sunny and clear with a 10% chance of rain.
    Sending out good vibes to the universe for a sunny day.

    That's probably me (61015). I've attended many Reading shows and can't remember too many times there was another GTB alongside mine. But I'll keep an eye out...

    ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ looks familiar!!! Lol. I most certainly will introduce myself. I'm sketchy about real rain, found out when cleaning mine I do let some water in certain areas of the targa roof. So it'll be a game time decision for me unfortunately but I'm remaining hopeful.

    Regardless of all the rumors you might hear, Ferraris wont melt in the rain.
    The only drawback is the vintage model guys might stay home which I can understand but I enjoy seeing those cars the most.
    Heading out the door soon as the oil temp hits 140!

    See post #28 of this thread. Full registration is required to attend the event(not sure if Ferrari ownership is required though as FCA does not require ownership of a Ferrari to join the club).

    We decided to bag the event this year after waking up this morning and seeing the radar from York, PA to Reading. What was suppose to be a 10% chance in Reading last night turned out to be much more green and yellow signalling steady precipitation. Even though we're out $300 (three of us were going) spent way too much time detailing the 328 to get it immediately messed up in the rain and dirt.

    I was even wondering how soggy the ground would be at the event and would there be issues getting in and out of the grass.

    Hope the people that did go enjoyed it. Looking forward to pictures tonight.

    Im with ya man...I was saying the same and lucked out from west of Downingtown to reading. Had some steady rain, drips on me blotted with a microfiber towel. Then got there, was concerned about the turf but it was ok...staged up and wiped it down. Few spits to 30 second shower but otherwise it was great and glad I went! Also won gold there too, which was very happy about that and meeting all the people on here and new acquaintances!

    A solid day it was! Got some pics to upload. Any one else have issues with multiple pics upload?

    It started out with rain but the field at the RCC is always pretty solid, no problems there. About 70 cars were there and the skies cleared for the main part of the day. Met some new friends and I enjoyed the show.

    Glad that it worked out for you. Can you believe that it's still raining here tonight. Hopefully everyone had a great time and for the conditions the pictures show a strong turnout.

    There is always next year!

    Ended up being a great day at the event. Rain all the way up and rain most of the way back to Maryland. Sunny at the event though til the end.

    That was the most 348 serie speciale I've ever seen in one place.

    Followed my twin (another 93 speciale) on the way out. That car was spectacular.

    Pretty sure I was the highest mileage 348 there at 60k except maybe for Paul. Also ended up winning a Platinum award for which I'm very thankful. Next time the car will truly be worthy! Though she's gonna be wearing her 360 heels!

    Glad to meet whom i think is the newest member of the 348 brotherhood as well... welcome Frank!
