5Annual Report of the President (ex)

Ernest Beutler


Possibly the best way to sum up my reflections on my four years as President is the time worn statement, "When you are having fun, time flies." I can truthfully state that I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to serve (I hope) the Club and would encourage anyone who has not become involved in Club activities to do so.
8FCA Annual Meet 1977
Report on the Track Event

Gerald Roush


The 1977 edition of the Ferrari Club of America's Annual Meeting - the 14th consecutive of these perennial shindigs - has to be classed as one of the biggest, grandest, and most successful Ferrari conclaves ever held anywhere.
15FCA Annual Meet 1977
Report on the Concours

Gerald Roush


With all of the excitement offered by a fully staffed first class race course, a superbly organized track event, and plenty of fast Ferraris making full use of the opportunity to run as they were designed to be run, the 1977 Ferrari Club of America Annual Meeting Concours d'Elegance was not the star attraction that the concours has been at previous annual meetings.

Central States Region

Sue Ridgley


Approximately eighty FCA members and guests attended the Sunday Brunch at the Como Inn on the 17th of April. The day was glorious - sunny and warm - certainly a relief after the extreme harshness of the "Winter of 1977". Ferraris roared down Milwaukee Avenue to take their places in the paved parking area where enthusiasts of the sport gathered.
30Tech Session
Northeast Region

Kurt H. Miska


Unlike the Long Island picnic, which has been blessed with perfect weather three years in a row, the Northeast Region's Tech Session at Wide World of Cars in Spring Valley, New York, seems destined to be held in a steady downpour. No doubt, the rain cut attendance, as well as the appearance of potentially interesting Ferraris. However, over 75 people had a good tech session and the opportunity to ask questions about Ferrari history.
