First off, a million thanks to Dave and Francesca for another superb event. The amount of work and planning and pulling of strings to put on a once in a lifetime event in Detroit must have been staggering.

And as seems to be tradition from what I can tell on my relatively short time on this forum, someone has to ask immediately after the completion of one rally......where is the next one?:)

Think there were some very unofficial rumblings of returning to Texas. I'll just add my completely unbiased +1 to that idea.:thumbsup

Not in the summertime.

Clearly not the summertime. Mid/late October, perhaps?

Le Mans in France

While this would be the ultimate, I'll venture to guess less than 50 and likely more like 20 or less members will actually be able to make that trip.

I'd be game--but I don't think I'd ship my car!

Austin is fun. Would be very cool to run COTA in our cars.

FWIW, another vote for Austin.

COTA + Texas culture + Hill Country driving (75 mph speed limit on two lane twisty mountain roads) + great autumn weather = So much win!

There are some beautiful roads and scenery around Watkins Glen.
Not to mention a race track. Good coffee, driving spirit and interest with the locals.
I don't live there BTW,....I just love the track and the area.

You guys are ruthless. DBK just orchestrated a meet all the Ford Superstar Execs event and your ready to move onto the next? All I can say is . . . . LET'S DO IT! :thumbsup

Guys ever ponder Dearborn? Did you happen to count and absorb just how many Ford people were able to attend, both current and past? Also think about what the car that we are all lusting over will look like in a year? If we go anywhere else, what will be the budget to ship what we all really want to see (or at least me)?

Just a thought......

This is one of my favorite threads every year! The guessing, the banter, the fun! I think DBK has each Rally planned out before the current one is even announced! LOL

PS I really don't mind where Rally XI will be, because Heidi & I will be there to be with all of you :)

American Le Mans at COTA mid September. We are going in a couple of weeks. I think it is on the 17th this year.

My vote is for Watkins Glen. A Good location with plenty to do and track time!

The 10th Anniversary Rally has ended. I'still 3 days from home and it's a good bet most of your GT'S are dusted off and put away.
All the banter about Rally 11 is wasted. As it will be held in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. As our Canadian members know, both of these provinces do not allow cars to be trailered into them. Which means that for most of you there will not be a Rally in 2016. That's not all bad as the values of your GT 's will increase faster in 2016 Strictly due not being driven.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
