I noted on the top line that the next rally will be in Detroit. Does anyone have the dates yet? I'd like to plan to attend that one, as I won't make it to Rally 9 this year.

Thanks in advance.

It'll be in the fall most likely. Exact dates probably by early 2015.

Stay tuned. There is so much going on around this event that we've had to shift the planned dates a couple times.

It's going to be a really unbelievable experience.
 
Still "sometime in August", I hope?

I hope it's not the first week of August (3-9)--that's the 75th anniversary of Sturgis Bike Week, and I want to do that next year too.

PeteK - I would have to say it'll be hard to compare the 10th anniversary celebrations/events for the FGT to anything else.

Rumor has it some really cool happenings! Be there or be square.
The only thing I can tell you is Mark McGowan(Mr Ford GT) will be giving autographs!

I am a motorcycle nut with over 12 bikes & would love to go to Sturgis someday. I still stand by my statement.

I've been to Sturgis 10 times with up to 500,000 bikes and 10 or so concerts and lots of scenic rides it's hard to beat. That said this is my 1st GT Rally I'm excited to meet more that love the GT as much as I do. I moved from Ohio to Pacific Palisades a the city between Santa Monica and Malibu. I drove my GT from Columbus Ohio to Vegas had Shelby tune for 91 octane and oil and filter changes and then drove to Santa Monica pier. We dove as much of Route 66 from Chicago as possible. If anyone is driving through of from close to SoCal and wants to drive over in convoy style let me know by a reply or message

And both times I had the only Ford GT in town.

Then you should plan to go to the 75th anniversary of Sturgis too!

But since you mentioned you are a bike nut also, I sort of wonder how many other GT owners are motorcycle enthusiasts...
 
+1, riding since 1963

You need to check it out at least once Ed. Quite the freak show.....very entertaining. I've ridden it a half dozen times with only buddies but in '10 we took the motor homes and wives. They are still laughing and talking about it!
