2 Fun Car weekends coming up! Cali Mille & Ferrari Challenge @ Infineon

Amici americani: Event Schedule


If anyone local is up for some brunch in SF, then viewing the cars at the Fairmont on Sunday...Let me know.

One of the largest assemblage of historic race cars in the 18 years of the California Mille will be on display atop San Francisco’s Nob Hill between Mason and California Streets on April 27 from 11 AM- 6 PM. In addition, some 50 Palo Alto Concours d’Elegance classics will be around Nob Hill’s Huntington Park as a preview of the Palo Alto show scheduled for June 22 at Stanford.

The California Mille (MILL-ay) salutes Italy’s famed Mille Miglia (thousand mile) race that ran from Brescia to Rome to Brescia from 1927-1957. Cars that could have qualified for the original event are eligible to apply for entry in the California Mille.

This year’s cars will include some l5 Jaguars, 11 Alfa Romeos, 9 Mercedes-Benz as well as such rarely seen and exotic makes as Talbot-Lago, Nash Healey, Allard, Aceca-Bristol, Hudson Hornet, Kurtis, Cisitalia, Cunningham, and Delahaye. Participants are expected from l5 U.S. states and six nations: Australia, Colombia, Switzerland, the U.K., Canada and the U.S. Three 2008 Mille entries completed last year’s Peking-to-Paris marathon

Ferrari North America - Ferrari Challenge

I'm open to going either saturday or sunday...cost is only $20 at the gate. I've never gotten around to going and it might be fun to make a group drive up there for the afternoon.

Hey MTK...will your scud land in time?

Can't make brunch, will be a lazy morning for me at home watching F1 of Spain (woohoo!)...

But I plan on cruising over to the Cal Mille show atop Nob Hill in the afternoon w/ camera and dog in tow.
