We’re pleased to announce our participation in the Shakespeare Theatre’s highly celebrated annual fundraiser gala on March 28 at the at the Hilton Short Hills in Short Hills.

The evening begins with guests feasting on sumptuous hors d’oeuvres, and dishes from a variety of carving and sauté stations.   While mingling, wining and dining, guests may bid on a variety of silent auction offerings including tickets and a back stage tour of Broadway’s hit musicals Billy Elliot and Phantom of the Opera and a membership in the Vulcan Motor Club.

Last year, most of the Wind & Fire tour slots sold out, so – by popular demand – we’ve added even more driving days for 2009. During this five hour event, you’ll switch and compare performance and handling between five incredible supercars – including the Ferrari F430, Ford GT, Audi R8, Aston Martin DB9, Lamborghini Gallardo, and the Bentley Flying Spur – discovering for yourself what makes them so special.

And – new for 2009 – a total of 25 driving sessions are available out of our New Jersey and New York club locations. All tours offer seat time in a selection of five supercars on some of the most thrilling road driving imaginable.

Your day starts at one of our two private clubhouses in Chester, New Jersey and Glen Cove, New York, where you’ll receive an overview of each vehicle from our staff, and a review of the tour route. Then, you’ll pilot each vehicle through some of the most scenic and demanding roads in the region, rotating cars at designated checkpoints. At the end of the tour, you’ll receive commemorative photos of your trip, as well as a chance to review your experience with fellow enthusiasts.

As for the route? It won’t disappoint. You’ll be traveling through some of the most breathtaking regions in New York and New Jersey, on a fantastic mix of river-hugging back-country roads, small towns, and some high(er) speed, wide-open interstate driving.

Reserve your seat now; when they’re gone, they’re gone!

What’s the difference between a Ferrari and a Volvo? What’s the difference between a Rochefoucauld and a Timex? What’s the difference between a Monet and a paint-by-numbers? For some people, a car is just a car; a watch is just a watch; and a painting – irrespective of the artist – is just another canvas upon which seemingly dull acrylics have been poorly splashed. But for others, the difference between cars yields vast meaning. Performance, style, heritage – and emotion. For some people, a Timex just doesn’t yield the quality and panache worthy of gracing their wrist. And sometimes, though I give her credit, Georgia O’Keefe just can’t replace Dali’s Persistence of Time hanging in the foyer. Those who just can’t bring themselves to compromise on these things – often revered as necessities – have a deep appreciation for the finer things in life.

The owners and staff at Vulcan Motor Club are all too familiar with the finer things – and the lifestyles they accompany. That’s why they celebrated these things – these epicurean amenities – in an evening dedicated to those who indulge in life’s lavish pleasures. Occupying the luxurious Trump National Golf Club, Vulcan invited a select 250 bon vivants to revel in the splendor of those things that aren’t so easily attained. The cars for instance…

Behind the wheel of a speeding BMW, Dave Maher glimpsed the Arch in St. Louis around daybreak and felt a rush of adrenaline as he and his driving partner inched closer to their goal.

“(Seeing it) kind of gave you a little sense of life, and the sun was coming up,” recalled Maher, 33, of New York City. “We were pushing hard the whole night.”

In a flash, the famed landmark was gone as the BMW whizzed west toward its destination. Maher and his partner, renowned rally race driver Alex Roy, were on their way in October 2006 to breaking the transcontinental driving record from New York City to Los Angeles.
