On April 14, 2007, two car shows united at Tempe Diablo Stadium (home of spring training for the Los Angeles Angels baseball team). The Concorso Arizona, celebrating 60 years of Ferrari, was held in conjunction with the sendoff of the Copperstate 1000 Road Rally. Ferrari Club of America’s Concorso lined the field of the stadium with 120 exotic Italian vehicles. Concorso Arizona is the largest Ferrari gathering in Arizona and is the only IFC/PCA judged event in the state. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Jaguar, Aston Martin, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo owners were invited from around the country to proudly display their treasures in a “Field of Dreams” setting. Some lesser-known names such as Allard, Kurtis and Frazier-Nash added to the wide-range of cars on display. While the key purpose for many of these car shows is raising money for worthy charities like the Ronald McDonald House and the Phoenix Art Museum, having a good time is also part of the package. Judging was available for any 1997 or older Ferrari, and at the same time the blending of the concours and the Concorso Arizona — Tempe Diablo Stadium Copperstate entries created a new and Concorso Arizona — 1962 Ferrari Spyder CA — Chris Cox exciting visual treat for the hundreds of 1952 212 Ferrari Barchetta — Bill Jacobs spectators who showed up Saturday and 1960 Lotus Type 14 Elite — Jess and Eddie Marker — Copperstate sendoff from stadium 18 • September-October 2007 • ARIZONADRIVER ARIZONADRIVER • September-October 2007 • 19 Sunday morning.

  • FCA Added Member Benefits Ferraris, Fun and Bucks Back!
    2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hello FCA Southwest Region Members, “I am a member of “The Ferrari Club of America, Southwest Region.” What does that mean? To me it means I’m a member of the best car club anyone could be a member of. It means I get to meet people who share the same pas - sion I have for my favorite Italian car. It means I have made lasting friends and relationships. It means I get to see cars under normal circumstances I would never see. It means I have ample opportunity to drive my car on the track, with plenty of opportunities to go on scenic drives for the day –the weekend –and sometimes longer that that. It means I get to display my car in numerous concours, and have the opportunity to win trophies and awards. And It means about 25+ more items that I can add to the list. I bet you can even think of more than that. It’s so much more than just a car club, it’s an ability to participate in a life style that we all are so fortunate to have the means to do so. That’s what it is to me. Think about it, see what it means to you. We have a fantastic year of events coming up. By the time you are reading this, the Holiday Party, Kart racing, The Tech Inspection at South Bay Ferrari, The Nethercutt Collection, the Mullin Museum Run, and the Enzo Cruise In event would have passed. Up coming is The Ortega Run, the Willow Springs Driving School, the McDonald’s to McDonnell Douglas Run, and The Rancho Los Alamitos Run.
