Ferraris to Gather in the Mid-South

MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE (September 2, 2008) -- If you drive one, you will come...
At least that's the thinking of Ferrari 308 owners from across the country
who will gather at Harrah's Casino in Tunica, Mississippi to celebrate the
Ferrari 308 model in 2008 during the weekend of October 10-12, 2008,
culminating in an exotic car show open to the public on Saturday, October
11. What began as an idea in the minds of Ferrari owners chatting on
FerrariChat.com has evolved into plans for a national event in the center of
the country near Memphis, Tennessee. 
"Forza Ferrari! 308s in '08: A celebration of a legendary model" will be a
historic national drive-in event for ALL Ferraris, as members of the Ferrari
Club of America, Ferrari List and Memphis Cars Italia join in a celebration
of the 308 model. This includes all Ferrari 308-derived cars from the 308GT4
to 308-328GTB/GTS models, as well as Ferrari 288s and the fabled F40s. The
Ferrari 308, a model often called the Magnum P.I. Ferrari because it
"starred" in the 1980s TV series, represents one of the most popular Ferrari
models in history.
A sampling of new and vintage Ferrari cars expected to participate in Forza
Ferrari! 308s in '08 include Ferrari 308s, 328s, 430s and many others; as
well as cars from the Ferrari Club of America and several Ferraris brought
by Foreign Cars Italia from North Carolina. 
Most car shows are regional, but organizers say this one will be a national
event drawing participants from across the country. All proceeds from this
special event will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Greater Memphis. The
three-day event will feature several activities for car club members,
including a tech session at Extreme Auto in Memphis and a welcome dinner for
members on Friday, the public car show itself on Saturday - to be held in
the north parking lot between Harrah's Casino and its hotels, and an
autocross for members on Sunday. The weekend Ferrari gathering started out
as an online conversation about doing something special for Ferrari 308s
since this year is '08, and the idea took off from there, according to FORZA
FERRARI organizer Jim "Shadow" Wilcox.
Come join Ferrari owners, fans and Tifosi alike and spend some time with
gorgeous Italian beauties - a day full of marvelously crafted sports and
exotic Ferraris open to the public - at Forza Ferrari! 308s in '08 at
Harrah's Casino in Tunica, Mississippi, Saturday, October 11, 2008. This
will be one event where you will want to bring the family! Admission is $10
for adults and $5 for children (ages 2-12). 308s in '08 - benefiting Habitat
for Humanity and sponsored by Harrah's Casino - is organized and presented
by FORZA FERRARI. For more information, visit the 308s in '08 web site:
