My Dealership is not an authorized GT repair facility. So keep that in mind as You read on. But Sarasota is.

I'm not sure about availability at Sebring in November. Would have to check.

I have taken my '05 GT to Sebring to run it when I had a Roush Mustang Day at Sebring. It was fun but definitely at 80%.

If Anyone has an interest in coming to Florida with their GT with optional track access please post here and let's talk about a Florida event maybe in November.

What would be really cool is to have vehicles transported to Tampa and a caravan driving out to Sebring with help of police(I might be able to help on Police).

I belong to a Golf Club here in Tampa and if anyone wanted to golf We could do that also. And if You smoke a cigar We will be smoking nice Opus X.

It's a 2 hour drive from Tampa to Sebring.

Bern's steak house for dinner on day of arrival in Tampa. Next morning caravan to Sebring. Maybe even 2 days at Sebring.

We could also have the event start in Sarasota at the Ritz Carlton. I am a member there and could help with rates. 1 1/2 hour drive to Sebring from there.

And Ritz has a golf course 20 minutes from Hotel that is very nice!!! And the Ritz Beach Club is awesome property!!!

Only issue is can New GT go in common enclosed carrier for people coming from distances?

Still a mystery, but one of many reasons to pay attention to this site, often.

When is the National Rally and where is it at?

Bern's steak house is not to be missed. Since you mentioned cigars, for those who are aficionados, don't miss a trip to Ybor City, Tampa. Ybor City was the center of cigar making in the US in the late 1800's to mid-1900's. Then the factories closed and the area fell into economic decline. About 30 years ago, the City of Tampa started revitalizing Ybor City and restored many of the old buildings. It's now "the" place to go partying on weekends. It also has a cigar museum in one of the old factories, including live cigar-rolling demonstrations, and you can buy the cigars they make. Have a tete-a-tete with the curator, and a kindly donation, and you can get them to make some cigars to your specifications. Now, how many people can claim they have custom-made cigars?

If wanted We can definitely get cigar tour at J.C. Newman and Fuente warehouse... but I will personally supply the Opus cigars.

If it's just 1/2 dozen people I'm OK as I will spend a lot time setting it up and smaller crowd is definitely easier.

I can handle getting us the right waiter at Bern's also. Drew is the bomb!
