pasta Fazoom is a spirited but non-competitive road event providing Italian car owners with an opportunity to gather for some camaraderie and an enjoyable cruise though the picturesque Central New York countryside. Now in its ninth year, this is not a concours event—it is a drivers’ outing.

Italian Car Consortium (ICC) founder and AONE member Cal Crouch has quite a weekend planned for us! There will be an informal get-together on Saturday afternoon, followed by dinner Saturday night at a terrific restaurant in Cortland, NY, and of course the Sunday Pasta Fazoom Rally. So why not plan to make an entire weekend of it? The Cruise itself shoves off at 10AM on Sunday, with a lunch break at a lakeside restaurant, and winds up around 3PM for cider and togetherness, so there’s plenty of time afterward to get home for a good night’s sleep before Monday rolls around.

Pasta Fazoom has been growing every year! Since different folks prefer different driving styles, there will be several different "flights" taking off, ranging from Crouchian through Intermediate, Touring, and Self-guided (in decreasing order of, uh, aggressiveness).

Previous years’ participants (including your Editor) report having a ton of fun—it’s a great chance to tear up some terrific empty roads with other Italian car aficionados! There’s a lot more information, some great photos from prior years’ cruises, and an online registration form on the ICC web site, or you can reach Cal at 315-691-9718 or calvincrouch@hotmail.com.

So head out west, where the roads are twisty and empty, and enjoy some Pasta Fazoom!
