You can’t miss it. The MkII and Txviper’s purple machine are sitting right outside it.

Looks great Dave, sure wish we could have made the party 🎈! I know you have a a festive weekend set up.
 
Looks like it’s turning out to be an awesome event! Wish I could be there! Will be following everyone’s posts and watching the race!
Enjoy!
Go Ford!!!
 
Shawn, your car looks great out in the sun where that color really shows.
 
Forgot, I'll take poster #150 if available but any number will work. Thanks Dave for another great event and poster.
 
Such a fun pre-race day. Great location at Spectator Hill, where you can see multiple vantage points of the racing from a nice air conditioned tent, and outdoor deck. Not to mention the striking MK II GT, and a black purple NFGT just outside the deck.

Fun to squeeze inside the Mk II, and then trying to gracefully wiggle out of it, without touching the floorboard.499F8B47-F552-4B5D-977B-DD38CC6F12D5.jpeg896FB8B6-AC2F-4BFB-8328-9430C42DE355.jpeg4C803FA1-24F6-4769-AD17-F54A419C8C74.jpeg

Well I couldn't be there, but the poster makes me feel better :).
Ordered and paid.

If a #19 is available...
I guess it can't hurt to ask :).
 
RALLY 14

Gentlemen,

As always this gathering of the GT faithful has been awesome. The rally drive on Thursday was the most insanely enjoyable high speed run on a smooth twisty mountain road that went on forever and seemed to have about 500 turns ending up in a Swiss like village. The hospitality set up at the track is killer and you’ve seen all the photos but I’ll post one more I like of the cars staged for the rally drive. All the best.

Thank you DBK for another memorable Ford GT Forum event! It was great to see everyone and cheer the factory teams one more time!! There is not another group of friends on the planet I want to hang out with more than you guys!!! Until next time... ✌️
 
A special Thanks to Dave for an outstanding event. Your efforts are appreciated! Also thank you Billy for a wonderful route thru the mountains that gave us all our adrenalin fix for the week. But without all the forum members that came and made the gathering so much more. We had a great time with outstanding weather. Please keep the gatherings coming. Thank you all.

When you watch Dave buzzing around like a worker bee you have to appreciate his effort. Another special thanks to Dave for a great event and Ford Performance. Was great to chat with Ford family members along with the Ford Performance team members and drivers. Of course the best part of the event was seeing the other forum members and their better halves.

Gentlemen,

Edsel told us that all good things must come to an end. So it is with this. One last time, watch #66 & #67 running 1 & 2 with 3 hours to go. Damn, just damn.
