We're all anxious to book our hotel rooms, but how many days do we book? It's not too early to be planning Pre and Post Rally events.

Let's throw some ideas out and see what sticks! :)

Gary, I believe Frank is working on this topic.

He currently is in Chicago for the auto show and viewing the new FGT. I am sure he will respond to your thread when he gets a chance.

^This will be my first Rally and my birthday is on the 29th, so I expect a nice present from each of you. FYI Xcentric, don't try to re-gift any of your platform shoes.

So you wouldn't want Frank's mankini?

Having no idea what is planned for the rally, if this is not redundant, those arriving early could take a cruise to Grosse Point to the Edsel and Eleanor Ford house.

Maybe other possibilities, that I've enjoyed, the Roush collection in plymouth, there is (or has been the couple times I've been there) a CP car, and 2 Ford GN34 cars, which was fords 1 attempt at a mid engine concept. As well as a ton of other race cars, concepts etc.

The lingenfelter collection, not open to the public, but maybe could arrange something. http://www.thelingenfeltercollection.com

Also if it's not part of the rally, the Nardo car that was driven by Mark to the infamous Vmax, is at the model t museaum piquette

I bet "cobrar" Might have an idea or 2

Your very first Rally - outstanding!

Well, the last day of the Rally is in Detroit at Camilo's studio. Living in the host region, I feel an obligation to help make you feel 'at home'. I know this fellow pretty well, and it just so happens that he's just a short drive from Camilo's.... https://www.mied.uscourts.gov/index.cfm?pageFunction=chambers&judgeid=4 :biggrin

If someone is coordinating these tours, could you propose a schedule of how it will blend with the DBK activities?

Co_ordination is KEY.. Also, on August 29 and 30 , ''Thunder over Michigan'' occurs at Willow Run Airport. US Navy Blue Angels with be the highlight group.
Willow Run is only about 10 miles from Dearborn . Maybe a 'Flyover'?. We took our Ford Mustangs out several years ago for photos under the wings of P-51 Mustangs ...and WWabbit was there with his friend Neal HUN-Hunter and their P-47 Thunderbolts...
A possible 'after rally' day.

I'm flying out on Sunday morning, looking into changing to a later date to make that C&C if enough of us are going. How many are planning on hitting that up?
