PHOTO: BOB HANDIN As usual the New Year brings new challenges and opportunities – and more excuses to get out there and drive your Ferrari! I don’t know about you, but driving a fun (and fast) car has to be one of those automatic “attitude adjusters” that seems to draw me to the garage whenever there is an excuse. Adjust the tire pressures- have to take a drive to make sure the car feels “right.” Put on a new set of wipers – ditto. Hard day at the office – just a little bit of automotive “therapy” on an on-ramp is a quick cure. Since we are blessed with great weather year round (not counting the egg frying months of August and September) I’m always glad to see our members get their cars out for a fun run or track event. For those of you who like a true road trip we just got done with a great social event at the Keys plantation of John Edwards and his wife, Margaret, our wonderful hosts for a stone crab feast beyond compare. See the cover and inside pictures to see what you missed! John and his wife made everyone feel at home, swapping stories and imbibing the true relaxed atmosphere of the Florida Keys. Again, many thanks to the entire Edwards family for their hard work and generosity in sharing their spectacular home with all of us. Don’t forget our Sebring Spring Spectacular (REGIS- TRATION FORM ON PAGE 2 OF THIS ISSUE) – April 3-5, at the always challenging 17-turn 3.87 mile Sebring 12 Hour track – that’s right folks – you will be driving on the very same track that has hosted one of the premier road races in all of the United States since the 1950’s. The host hotel is the Chateau Elan, newly expanded. We will once again be targeted by the “Pink Sombrero” – aka Dr. Bob Mack for pointed comments on attire, appearance or driving ability, not necessarily in that order. Our title sponsor, Ferrari of Central Florida will provide both tech inspections, and a repair or two for those needing same. Make sure to get your car teched prior to the track – and please change your brake fluid and make sure you have plenty of meat on those pads- Sebring is notorious for being hard on brakes! Back by popular demand is the Saturday Night Trackside Bar-B-Q – nothing better after a long day at the track than getting messy and having a few cold ones! We have planned Friday charity rides, kids rides and even a ladies only track secession – so make sure to bring the kids and encourage the ladies to get out on the track – who knows you may have to start fighting for the keys to Enzo’s finest! Our friends at The Collection also want to be sure to invite you to the Ferrari Challenge at Homestead Miami Speedway – March 8th and 9th, although this is not a FCA event we intend to have a corral for our members. An e-vite will be forwarded to as a reminder – but mark your calendar now. We look forward to sharing more of these types of events with George and the other good people at The Collection. Finally, this is the election issue. No Red States and Blue States – no “hanging chads” – no power brokers or spin doctors, just an all volunteer deal – we do this for the love of the club and the marque, but even diehard volunteers need to “cycle out” every once and a while, so enclosed is the ballot for the new Board of Directors. Some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent, but rest assured that all of these people, selected by a nominating committee, are qualified to carry the torch and continue the good work that has been started. Please be sure to fill out the enclosed ballot and mail it in before March 30th. If you are interested in volunteering for late evenings and hard work in exchange for zero pay – step forward. All kidding aside, we need volunteers who are willing to work and share the same passion for Ferraris that motivates all of us – don’t be shy, e-mail me if you are interested. The next election is only a little more than a year away! Keep up with our upcoming events by visiting the webwe have plans for more social events, garage tours, go karting and more fun!
