The largest Pantera Event on the East Coast Sponsored by Pirelli Tire will take place at Le Belle Macchine d'Italia The Largest 3 Day Italian Car Event in North America.
Dates are June 28th - July 1st with a Concorso at the Skytop Lodge, Skytop, PA and 2 days of Track at Pocono International Raceway.
With over 350 DeTomasosMaseratis, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and many other great Italian automobiles present. Le Belle Macchine d'Italia offers over 18 hours of track time on the 2.5 mile road coarse, Not a mere 4.5 hours. And at an hourly rate of only $15.00 compared to over $38.00 per hour charged by others.
Our world class Concorso site is the crown jewel of the Poconos. Skytop Lodge is an Executive Retreat built in 1925 and meticulously maintained to the highest standards. It offers Old World ambiance, but with modern amenities.
We have many surprises planned for this year. In 2000 we featured the North American debut of the Pagani Zonda, in 2001 Lamborghini Factory Test Driver Valentino Balboni took participants on demonstration rides on the track at speeds in excess of 170 mph. In attendance last year were such icons of the Italian Automotive World as Piero Rivolta of Iso Rivolta fame, and former Pininfarina & Ghia designer Tom Tjaarda.
Other past highlights have included:
1st appearance in over a decade of the Iso Rivolta Varedo midengine prototype.
1st East Coast showing of the Qvale Mangusta.
1st showing of a DeTomaso automobile by a factory representative in North America in 23 years.
1st public demonstration of the Lamborghini Diablo Roadster R.
Filming for the TV show "Extreme Machines" for segments on Ferrari & Lamborghini.
Welcome introduction from His Excellency Ferdinando Salleo, the Ambassador of Italy
Welcome introduction from Dott. G. Grecco, President of Lamborghini SpA

And who knows maybe catch a ride with factory test driver Valentino Balboni!
Don't be mislead by deceptive claims & false images for another event with a similar sounding name, that have never taken place. There is only 1 Legendary Pocono Event. The original, Le Belle Macchine d'Italia Don't miss it.
