Ford GT Celebration at the 2015 Carlisle Ford Nationals


Made it back to FL. Safe with the GT. Great time, Learned alot about the cars and made some new friends. Great show and hats off to Lance , Ken and his staff. Everyone was very welcoming . I need to make a Rally next.
Thanks, David

david- it was nice to meet you and talk cobra jets (new and old) with you. hope to see you in Dearborn this summer and maybe Zephyr Hills this winter.
thanks, scott.
 
Careful..."Zypherhills" is now in Lakeland, FL; November and February. Brought to you by the Carlisle guys.

It would be very hard to add any additional "Thank You" to the current list as this was an "Awesome" weekend with a ton of wonderful GT family members. Thanks to all who put forward the extreme efforts in making this the event that it was and I am so looking forward to the rally to get the fun started again with the best group of car people.
 
I think if Tomcat's and Supernova's energy could have been harnessed, Lance wouldn't have an electric bill for the weekend.
 
Another FGT (he can reveal if he desires) and I got separated from the parade and got to town before the parade. The main street was roped off and every law enforcement was stationed there in prep for the main street event, so I "tested" my new pulley/tune and he demonstrated the pulley/tune/exhaust while we "hustled" around the relatively empty side streets trying to find the parade...memorable!

My son Patrick and I were standing there before the parade and saw you turn up the street. Sounded fantastic!
 
I also feel compelled to say thanks to all that organized and attended the event. The drive (without my GT) with my son was worth it and I enjoyed meeting new people with the same passion I have for the GT. I look forward to Detroit! Yes, I will bring my Yellow 06 GT.
Thanks
Peter

I guess I did come out of my normally reserved shell!

My new favorite stock GT is Dominic's yellow no stripe. I's hard to pic a modified they all looked great.
 
Let me add to the thanks the rest of you have expressed for Lance and Ken and staff support of the GT 10th anniversary. Great job all around, and a great opportunity to meet other "afflicted" GT owners! Lookin' forward to the Rally.

BTW, the rest of the car show was pretty good too. I spent most of Friday and Saturday wandering around the fairgrounds checking out the other cars. Lots of old Mustang GT350s, GT500s, Boss 302s and others. There was a whole row of Starliners that were just magnificent.

I would like to thank Northwood GT for being there with parts when needed. Saved my bacon.
 
fjpikul: it was my pleasure, glad I could be of help. met so many people and put faces to names I've talked to for years. Lance and Ken bent over backwards to make sure I was in a key location in the show. even supplied tables and chairs. they were awesome! thanks to everyone!
 
I have finally found a few minutes to download the pictures from Carlisle. Here are a couple from us emptying the cooler on Friday night. :cheers Stellar cell phone pics LOL

Just received my Carlisle nationals gift from Lance and crew. I had it signed by our GT celebrity's and framed. Turned out nice and got the reflection of Mellow Yellow in the background. Thank you Lance!
