Aug 29th-Sept 2nd (Labor Day Weekend)

Each year we hold an international meet in a different location in the United States or Canada.  The gatherings attract 600 to 800 participants and approximately 250 to 300 Ferraris for a five day event.  Our Meet this year includes an internationally recognized Concours d’Elegance, a road rally, autocross competition, three days of racetrack activities, a vendor market (Mercato di Ferrari), seminars, receptions, and two festive dinner banquets with award presentations.

The 2007 International Meet will be held in the towns of Corning and Watkins Glen, New York, and the beautiful surrounding countryside of the Finger Lakes Region. Event headquarters are at the Radisson Hotel Corning, while the track portions of the event are at the legendary Thunder Road, Watkins Glen International, a challenging 3.4 mile road course that has hosted racing from Formula 1 to NASCAR.   The Concours d’Elegance will be held on Market Street, the heart of the historic Gaffer district of downtown Corning.  

The committee is looking for memorabilia to dress the store windows in Corning.

Great Family Fun!

Corning is surrounded by great natural beauty and provides terrific opportunity for outdoor activities.  The tourist-friendly town also offers nearby attractions like superb wineries and stunning state parks.  The Corning Museum of Glass documents the history and science of glass-making and displays one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of glass items.  In addition, downtown’s historic Market Street comes alive with glass studios, restaurants, art galleries, and other shopping opportunities. Fine arts also thrive, such as the adjacent Rockwell Museum and its renowned western and Native American art. Activities abound, from winery tours and golf outings to the Wings of Eagles Discovery Center ( National Warplane Museum) and water-sports on many of the surrounding lakes.
