Since the Ford GT40 will be one of the feature Marquis at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours, might I suggest that this could be an event around which the Ford GT Forum membership could coalesce? Surely someone in this astute group has the horsepower to convince the Concours organizers that it would be appropriate for FGT attendees to have a dedicated parking/display area. Any interest?

Both work for me but I like yours better because it is shorter. Always better to keep it simple.

Would be fun. I didn't know that was a featured group this year.
I am friend's with the Concours' founder and director - of course he happens to be a GT owner and a great guy !

Any further interest in using this as an excuse for a gathering of the Ford GT clan? http://www.ameliaconcours.org/

For sure - a get together would be fun.
I will have a car in the show so will be around all 3-4 days.
As I live only about 45 min from Amelia, I could possibly host a small event (for subscribing members) at my shop (though the weekend will be pretty full of activities)

I will be there on Sunday, only. Five hour drive from Venice, Florida, but I haven't missed the event in three years. Although I saw your beautiful Caddy last year, JAX, and asked for you, we never crossed paths.

That would be a great event/excuse for a get together. I would be likely to come over for the weekend.

Sorry I missed you. I will have a 1959 Mercedes in this year's show, so please come by.

I plan to go but taking the Mustang instead of the GT. Should be great.
