The Fuelfed W317 Recap

Let’s say it with a short video. The music adds a better visual experience.

The Final Drive Evolved

.

We are just five weeks out from our driver bootcamp we call The Final Drive (TFD17). This private member only event has a long legacy as the premier open road driving event. This is not an event not for the weak hearted or those without strong track experience. Our 15 year tradition has evolved again this year, with completely new routes and driving agenda.

Members watch for it in the next club email.

The Unique Club with the Big Heart

.

Not only did our traditional Ferrari feature exceed expectations, but in just two short hours, Fuelfed and FCA members donated $1170.00 to the American Red Cross to help those US residents hurt by hurricanes Irma & Harvey. We are very proud of our Fuelfed volunteer dedication as well as our select car community and the great friends it has brought together.

Now that is the true Fuelfed Spirit!

It’s Ferrari Month in Winnetka!

.

Our sixth annual Ferrari feature at Coffee & Classics Winnetka is this coming Sunday, September 24th. With over 60 Ferraris on display, it is one of biggest displays of four-wheeled Italian artistry anywhere. Continental Autosports will be bringing some of their exclusive favorites as well.

With over 160 classic European cars in addition to the Ferraris on display, our September Coffee & Classics is one of most popular car events of the season. As such, there will be no Day Passes or Modern Member cars (Ferrari excluded) allowed in the display areas…sorry.

In addition to the Ferraris, we are raising money for the American Red Cross to help those hit hard by hurricanes Irma & Harvey. 100% of Sundays’ proceeds will go to the Red Cross. Please look for the white buckets at the gates and yellow table and donate. Our brother and sister enthusiasts appreciate it.

The red starts at 9:00am.

Fuelfed W3 Tour September 23

.

Our Popular W3 Tour, or short for Wood, Water & Wheels take place on Saturday, September 23rd.

This private Fuelfed member only driving event is a well honed day tour through SE Wisconsin’s of rustic roads with lunch in Lake Geneva. The tour culminates with Fuelfed reserved waterfront parking at the famous Abbey Resort for the annual Geneva Lakes Antique and Classic Boat Show. Here you’ll see the best of Chris-Craft, Century & Garwood with a spectacular boat parade around Lake Geneva.
