Volume 17 Issue 3 - May/June 2010 - Ferrari Club of America ...

Hello FCA Southwest Region Members,
With springtime here, our club’s events calendar is in full swing! In May alone, our dedicated
event chairpersons have organized four events to enjoy. From our Kentucky Derby Drive
and Party, Marshall’s Tom Malloy Collection Tour, our popular Concorso Ferrari concours
with Maranello’s finest presented on historic Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, to a special
invitation to Snaidero USA/Pininfarina’s showroom, we have a lot of unique experiences
that your Ferrari will beg you to attend.
In March, Marv and I attended the FCA National Board Meeting where all Regional Directors
are invited to help guide the club’s direction. Three key developments were announced
during the three full days of meetings in Atlanta.
Firstly, an agreement with Ferrari SpA was signed to join their International Council of
Ferrari Clubs. This agreement solidifies the club’s relationship with the factory and its
North American organization, plus strengthens our mutual relationships for the future.
May-June 2010
President’s
Message
• Springtime Events
• Get Your “Bucks Back”
• FCA 50th Anniversary
• In Your Area Meets
The second announcement was FCA’s “Bucks Back” program with money saving benefits
on discounts from any authorized Ferrari dealer in the US and Canada, driving schools,
vehicle lease and transportation companies. The discount from just one service could pay
for your year’s membership, so there’s never been a better reason to be a FCA member.
You can also get a personalized Visa credit card with a photo of your Ferrari on it. There is
no annual fee, so why not carry a card that can get more attention than your Black Card?
Thirdly, and even more exciting is the initial planning of the FCA’s 50th anniversary in a
year long, continent-wide celebration beginning in 2012. Our Region will be at the front of
the line for the golden year festivities as our FCA Southwest Region will be host for the FCA
2012 International Meet. Chairman Doug Prestine is our well qualified event chairperson
who helped develop the Avila Beach Concours Weekend. This beautiful locale along
California’s central coast will play host to our event which will offer numerous activities for
members and their Ferraris. We recently held our initial meeting to discuss preliminary
details, and both Doug and I invite you to be an “engaged” member to assist our club in
the development and running of the five day event.
Our In Your Area coordinators have been having some very fun informal events. I attended
Mark’s meeting at Supercar Sunday in Woodland Hills and I had a great time seeing the
wide variety of cars at this show sponsored by the Auto Gallery. Several members enjoyed
Kenny’s first West LA group for a drive and Guy’s Santa Paula Airport meet gave Ventura
area members a chance to have a great time among the planes. Each of our coordinators
look forward to seeing you at their next get together, so take a drive next month to say “hi.”
I look forward to seeing you at our club’s events or at a board meeting at the Petersen
where all members are invited.

at Dromo 1 Race Number 1 of 3
Nearly two dozen

racers met at Dromo 1 in Orange, CA to go wheel to wheel for the first round of our three
race 2010 FCA SW Kart Challenge Championship Series.
Several driver’s caravanned down from West LA to meet up with the rest of our enthusiastic
group at Dromo 1. As we assembled in Dromo 1’s lounge for our private event where we
had full access to the indoor facility, you could tell who was taking this event serious by who
was carrying a custom painted Ferrari themed helmet or donned a fitted driving suit.
After an orientation and safety meeting, driver’s schedules for our 12 heat races were posted
where each driver was entered in four heats. Point for finishes in each heat would determine
a driver’s placing in the three semi-final races for all drivers. The top nine drivers
would be gridded in the main event.
We had a lot of racin’ to do. Dromo ran a well scheduled event with eight to nine drivers
suited up in preparation for the next race as one was underway. Drivers had some races
back to back, with them stepping out of one kart to climb into another one for their next
race which gave a kind of enduro feel. Between races drivers compared lap times, their
lines and watched the others compete on the challenging course.
Dromo’s karts had digital readouts on the steering wheel so you could see your last lap time
and your placing in the race which allowed drivers to compare their times using different
lines around the track. Dromo also had just changed the track layout to create the fastest
road course they’ve ever had, with more open corners and a huge sweeper that wrapped
around the building. With lots of places to pass, there was constant side by side racing.
The smooth track surface was resistant to aggressive driving until the rubber tires got a bit
of heat in them after a couple of laps. But that didn’t hinder the action at the first corner in
10

many heats. What looks exciting in a first corner in Formula 1 is even more
intense at ground level in a kart when dive bombers aim for the inside line
with their throttle to the floor, eyes closed and arms flinging about with hopes
that they’ve gained some positions.
In the main event, driver’s were queued up in order of point ranking on the
staggered grid on the front straight awaiting the starter’s green light. I started
second behind Brian Trager and overtook the lead in a few laps, closely paced
throughout the ten lap feature by Jon Johnson and Bert Meli, our order of finish.
A number of past Dromo participants have mentioned to me that they’ve
enjoyed the events to the degree that they have bought their own karts to
race, so that they can enjoy the fun as a family. Karts are addictive!
Our club is holding two more kart challenge events as part of our series, and
you’re welcome to join us at each event regardless if you’ve attended any of
the others. Join us for the fun at MB2 in Thousand Oaks on June 26, and Go
Kart World in Carson on October 16.
Thanks to all participants for making this a great event and we look forward to
seeing you at the next race. SF

Last year
Event Photos By
Larry O’Rourke
on January 24, 2009 we had two popular events scheduled for our members. One was the
2009 annual Auto Gallery Tech Session. It POURED that day. This year, on January 27th we
also had two popular events scheduled for our members including the 2010 annual Auto
Gallery Tech Session. It POURED that day too.
That really isn’t supposed to happen here in SUNNY Southern California. The good news is
that we now have indisputable proof that the cure for a Southern California drought is to
schedule multiple FCA events on the same day.
At 8:30 am, the huge modern service facility was quiet and empty....we were afraid no
members would brave the elements and actually show up. But a little before 9:00 am the
familiar sound of prancing horses and intermittent windshield wipers began to wail in the
morning gloom.
A bit more than 20 members finally arrived. Because of the smaller than normal
attendance, owners had very thorough inspections with the staff who spent ample time on
each car and explained every issue. Each car was inspected for well over 30 minutes and
many systems were checked including brakes, suspension, belts, hoses, tires, motor
mounts and undercarriage wear. This type of inspection at no charge is an exceptional
benefit to our members.
The best cappuccino machine this side of Modena was busy along with snacks (great cookies).
The Auto Gallery Boutique was offering huge discounts on official Ferrari merchandise and
generous “goody bags” were given to all the members. Sasha was on hand in case anyone
wanted to buy or lease a new 599 and Nick was offering FCA discounts on parts.

Tech Session
at the Auto Gallery - 2010
Special appreciation to all the members who respected the Auto Gallery’s generosity by
driving in wet conditions, including Larry Bloomer for bringing his non-watertight Daytona, to
James Oldham for driving all the way from the Santa Barbara area and to new FCA member
Russell Frieder for attending his first FCA event in his newly purchased first Ferrari (per
Russell, a hurricane would not have kept him away!)
On behalf of the FCA-SW, we want to thank the Auto Gallery team including Tony, John,
Dave, Irene, Nick, Diana, Sasha and the amazing service guys for again, organizing a very
valuable and popular event on their day off. SF

8th Annual Running

On Sunday,
Event Photos By
Wally Clark & Tom Brockmiller
March 7th, a bit later in the year than usual, we had over 100 participants meet on a blusterycold,
cloudy day that portended rain but turned out otherwise.
The two hour drive to the Thornton Winery in Temecula was just as we like it. Uneventful but
beautiful and challenging through the back roads of DeLuz. A little water in the fjords never
hurts as a reason for complaint. A control well beyond our ability.
What was within our ability was the creative buffet that met us at the winery. Because of
possible weather constraints we dined in “the Cave”. The winerie’s storage vault which,
while a bit confined, created many new and renewed friendships. A wonderful reason for
participating in club events.
As usual, the Ferrari only parking was filled with all manner of the marque. One member,
remaining nameless, had the audacity to bring his Porsche Turbo. Well, in truth, we encourage
this as a driving event and you are always welcome to bring another steed.
While dining, we had FCA Southwest member, Frank Mandarano of Concorso Italiano fame,
inform us of both his new and now famous Italian “Car Guys Tour” as well as a Southern
California rally he will be implementing. It will be an ambitious event that only Frank could
undertake. Stay tuned.
We wish to thank our usual and trustworthy event committee for implementing the start
flags and coordination in general, Don West, Jill Curtis and Bill Inglis.
And, special thanks to all of you participants and members for making the event possible.

North American Premiere

to throw a debutant party, where three beautiful 458 Italias were presented to potential
suitors for their North American premiere. Held at the lavish Fleur de Lys estate in Holmby
Hills, the gala event raised $601,000 for relief efforts in Haiti by the CMMB (Catholic
Medical Mission Board) and the William J. Clinton Foundation.
Among the 500 Ferrari aficionados who mingled among the Ferraris, car collectors, actors
and socialites were John Mayer who donated his acoustic performance during the evening,
and director and Ferrari collector Michael Bay, recognized for his long-lasting friendship with
the company. The party was hosted by Piero Ferrari, Deputy Chairman, Amedeo Felisa,
worldwide CEO of the company and Marco Mattiacci, the newly appointed North America CEO.
Delicious hors d’oeuvres and open bars primed the audience to unlatch their hearts and
Black Cards to bid on exclusive Ferrari items. Wall Street Journal automotive journalist
Dan Neil with auctioneer David Gooding who donated his expertise, worked the audience
for their bids on Ferrari Formula One driver Fernando Alonso’s Bahrain winning racing suit.
Neil tempted Alonso admirers by stating “His taut little buns were actually in here,” It raised
$31,000. Two experiences as a Scuderia Ferrari team member at the Canadian Gran Prix
in Montreal went for $20,000 and $21,000 and were considered to be great deals.
To close this exceptional evening, bidding began on the first 458 Italia to arrive in the
United States in July, which will include a special plaque signed by Piero. Bidding quickly
got to a half million when “Talk Soup” host and comedian Joel McHale got on stage to
prompt/disparage (“Is that your daughter or wife?”) the players to a final bid of $530,000.
Ferrari is to be commended for their ongoing commitment to social responsibility. The funds
raised at this and other charity events with the help of generous patrons, allows for more
organizations to aid those in need around the world.

Ferrari and
the FCA forge
a path toward
the future
Article By
Al DeLauro
Photo By
Eric Hawley
The revitalization of the
Ferrari Club of America,
begun last year, reached
another milestone in the form
of a new link in our relationship
with Ferrari S.p.A. and
Ferrari North America.
On behalf of the leadership team of the FCA, I am pleased to announce that on March 7,
2010 the Board of Directors of the Ferrari Club of America voted to accept an invitation
from Ferrari S.p.A. to join their International Council of Ferrari Clubs.
The agreement signed at the FCA annual board meeting caps a multi-year negotiation which
will see the FCA enjoy a closer relationship with the factory, its North American organization,
and other major Ferrari Owners Clubs around the world. Additionally, we were able to
resolve long standing differences regarding the use of Ferrari’s trademarks, and in a most
positive manner.
This agreement marks a milestone in the Club’s 48 year history. Highlights of the agreement
include FCA’s gradual adoption of a North American version of Ferrari’s World Club
logo to eventually replace our traditional logo. As well, the agreement resolves a number of
previous ambiguities about the use of Ferrari’s and FCA’s respective trademarks, paving
the way for greater cooperation and mutual benefit going forward.
Since recognized by Enzo Ferrari himself in 1964, the FCA has generally enjoyed a mutually
supportive and productive relationship with Ferrari, both in Italy and in North America. This
synergy grows stronger now with our agreement resolving differences, enriching our working
relationship and furthering Ferrari’s efforts to protect its intellectual property.
As the FCA prepares to enter its second half century, this mutually supportive relationship
between the FCA and the factory will assist our ongoing comprehensive program to update
and modernize the look, feel, and nature of our Club.

Snaidero USA would like to invite the FCA Southwest
Region members to a private continental breakfast
at its flagship kitchen showroom in West Hollywood.
Ferrari owners will get the chance to discover the
curious affinities between their cars and some of
our most luxurious kitchens… designed exclusively
for Snaidero by Ferrari stylist Pininfarina himself.
The relationship between Snaidero and Pininfarina originated
16 years ago from the desire to break away from all conventions
and find new ways to think of the kitchen space; hence the future
of kitchen design was born.
24
Pininfarina brought his knowledge of advanced automotive
technology to the table to create a series of revolutionary
models which have, since then, become award-winning,
iconic pieces of design and sought-after status symbols.
From state-of-the-art innovation and sexy curves to stylish
uniqueness and chromatic vitality, the Snaidero/Pininfarina
kitchens have all the trademarks you might expect from the
genial creator of the Ferrari cars.
Come to Snaidero USA Los Angeles to explore the world where
car excellence meets kitchen sophistication.
