2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hi FCA Southwest Region Members, This year is off to a fast start and we are moving into a packed summer. We just celebrated the 10th Annual Concorso Ferrari in Old Town Pasadena. It was another great success thanks to Marv Landon and his crew. I enjoyed being able to see so many of you and to meet those I don’t already know. Thank you for coming out to share your cars with the public and inspire the next generation of Ferrari owners. Hopefully you took home a trophy or learned what you need to do to get one next year. You will have to wait for the next issue to get an extended writeup on the event. It will be worth the wait! Concorso Ferrari & The Enzo Birthday Party at The Petersen are now in the history books completing two of our biggest events of the year, but that doesn’t mean we are done. I just signed up for six events and we have three summer weekends that have double headers with events on Saturday & Sunday of the same weekend! We try not to take up all of your free time but sometimes our events are limited. We want to make sure you have plenty of excuses to take your Ferrari out for a joy ride, even if only to attend a garage tour and get some inspiration for your future collection. We have a couple of amazing free events this summer. Our Botanic Gardens Car Show and Picnic will be free this year as a celebration of our membership. Also Fast Cars has invited us again to an open house with lunch provided. Sign up early and often. I hope you enjoy this issue. We have a lot of great content. Tom Brockmiller is the subject of this months past- president profile, and Michael Hagerty is our featured member. Both are fantastic guys and I think you will enjoy getting to know them better. We have a new Mattioli Tech Tip to keep you informed about your car and Kenny’s 10 years of Mystery Rides concluded with a weekend getaway. Kenny has decided to retire from throwing this event. Let me know if you want to take up the mantle or you have other ideas as we shape up the 2018 calendar, and don’t forget to check the In Your Area listings for some changes. There is more good stuff in here but I will just let you get to it. ! A big thanks to your VP Jim Bindman and all our event coordinators for packing out the summer with events and other behind the scenes work. See you soon and don’t forget to accelerate through the corner.
