This year's Fiat Freakout coincides with the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Fiat 124 Spider. The classic 124 Spider is always well represented.

The Fiat Freakout is always a great event, but this year it will truly be something extra-special. Activities include go-cart racing, a poker run, autocross and more. One of the highlights will be the Friday night reception at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum located at the FCA US headquarters. There will be an all FCA product and owners gathering outside the museum. Groups attending will include the Alfa Romeo Owners Club and the Detroit Area Modern Mopar Club. Expect to see a lot of exciting cars both inside and out, plus new Alfa Romeo and Fiat models.

The Fiat FreakOut is the must attend event of the year. Don't miss it!

Registration is now open to current club members, and the deadline is July 5 but some events may fill up early, so don't wait.
