It is interesting that at Wednesday's meeting, I brought up that 2011 is FABAC's 10th anniversary and that we should do something special—like maybe go to Britain or something like that. Imagine my surprise when Joe emailed me this evening suggesting:
"I think someone should organize a group trip to the UK for this event next year—think we'd have any interest? Sept 2011." (Check out the event he is suggesting below. It's fabulous!

So, let's get planning. Maybe Joe could confirm the dates and we'll work from there.

I think that is a good job for Joe, as he proposed it :-)
Dates for 2011 are not confirmed as yet, but will be mid September. Google Goodwood and you will see the three big events that go on at the site. This event in September is the vintage races. The festival of speed in the summer is a showcase for new cars as well as the cars that are demonstrated up the hill climb course.
The annual Goodwood Revival in the UK is indeed a spectacular 3-day motorsport event. I should know as Shirley Ann and I went to it in 2007 and had front row seats. Its certainly to be recommended.
However, moving the idea of a FABAC group visit from concept to reality will take a LOT of organization, commitment and willingness to pay for an expensive
visit to the UK. Maybe there's a better way to celebrate FABAC's 10th anniversary? So let's make the proposed visit a major agenda item for our Nov.17 dinner meeting.I'll bring some insight (and literature) to the discussion.
