Rally 8 Scheduled September 3-7, 2013


I'll be there in a week or so Trent and I'm not leaving until I find adequate, secure trailer storage. Sonoma and Napa are pretty tight.
 
Trent - I have parking available (some indoor & some outdoor fenced) for a few trailers at my friend's warehouse in Vacaville which is 30 miles from hotel.

Bonehead - I have no scratches on my paint after 6 years of no water. Wether you use water or not, if done incorrectly you can scratch paint. Water is difficult with the GT due to nooks/crannies, vents, etc.

^^^ I've wet washed my car a grand total of two times since I got it. Both times after driving in the rain and needing to hose out grit and grime. Dry wash often. Paint looks great.
 
Hotel booked!
 
I definitely will need transport from Mo or will have to find a "hot" rental to keep up with y'all. Indy are you going to try to put a hauler full this year like for Utah?
 
Working on it Jack....
 
You are FAST, Bill!
 
Booked. Couldn't do it online though. ?
 
Thanks guys. :thumbsup
As you can appreciate I need all the space I can get when driving an aircraft carrier.:biggrin

:cheers

Let me know when you get in, so I can buy you a beer!
 
Booked, locked and loaded!
 
Rally 8 will be Tuesday Sept 3 to Friday Sept 6 at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa.
Damn! I grew up less than 5 miles down the road, and I'll have to miss the excitement again this year. Oh well, I'll be there in spirit.
 
So should the booking be 4 nights at the Fairmont? Sept 3rd-6th and check out on 7th?
 
Professor Sims,

Date change puts me out of the running. Already have a commitment for crossing the Sierras twice in 3 days those exact same dates. Sorry, sounds like a great time, haven't been to a Rally since Vegas, Ralphie has been beating on me to commit, but with the date change, conflicts prevent my participation. Don't forget the Oakville Grocery for lunch, would be a great photo surrounded by FGTs!

This means I won't have the opportunity to hassle Dr. F about his choice of the red color for his FGT, damn!

Yes sir!

Friday night rate is the same as the other three, which is something of a miracle for Sonoma that time of year...
 
Perfect. Thank you Dave and Ed. Just realized Wednesday the 4th is my youngest daughters Bella's B-Day but we will probably celebrate the weekend before or after. I am not sure if I can take my son out of school that week but trying hard to convince my wife to come. Is everyone bringing spouses? She suggested shipping the car from LA but that is out of the question as my car needs the drive bad...

I'm sure someone else will be happy to pick up the baton and run that marathon. :)
 
Reservations made!!!! I'm really looking forward to meeting other GT owners, there are very few around here ...

Waldo,
You will be missed! At least by me!
Hope all is well with you and family
My very best regards to you my friend!
