Just a quick final note on the event coming up this Wednesday at COBO Hall in Detroit...

--Per my discussion with SAE yesterday, they expect over 750 people to attend.!!
--PLEASE do NOT forget to bring your ticket... I do NOT have any duplicates

--Dress code... I had several ask..Dress code is 'Business Casual'. Most attendees come directly from their work at either the Major Auto Companies or our Major Suppliers and Consultants. You will see suits, ties, sports coats etc mostly ...and some Auto racing jackets.

--Event Social Hour is 5:30 to 6:30. SAE indicated the size of this event may see the 'doors open a bit earlier " than 5:30 pm.

--I have had discussions with Ford Motor Company Executives and they are fully aware of our attendance.
--We have three (3) tables of 10 people. Some Ford GT Engineers will join our tables.
--The three (3) tables will be labeled as "Benedict Consulting #1" , Benedict Consulting #2" and "Ford GT Forum" when you arrive.

I noted and advised Ford Motor Company that of our three (3) tables ::
--We own (22-23) Ford GT's of the 2005-2006 vintage !!
--We will own approximately (18) New 2017, 2018, 2019 Ford GT's !!

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday .

Any thoughts on post game? I had someone ask me if there was any plan for after the event, that can't make it in time for the event.

Cmon, after hours of listening to Indy G T like SAE engineers you all will be sound asleep and bored to death.

I love the slow reveal of all that is available! Exciting!

The numbers on the helmet and bag are similar but the digits are transposed? Whats the significance?

Thanks
Simon
