I'm sure we all know this from the advertising of BJ, but they will be in Vegas in October this year!! And as I love the Aug. dates of the previous Rallies and will not miss # III either.... I thought I'd throw it out there to the board and the President here (DBK) that Rally III in October would not only mean Shelby Headquarters, but BJ too.... that seems like it would be pretty freaking awesome..... Just a thought... :cheers

The closer to Oct the better chance we won't have 110 deg weather either. August here would be a scorcher.

That sounds good except the weather in the Rockies needs to be considered. The Texas boys can run the southern route through Phoenix one way, but we will probably try to meet up with Dr. Frank in NM and run IH 40 for awhile. Snow and ice is not my friend when I am in the GT. Are the B-J dates in early October? If this becomes the plan can we do the rally prior to B-J?

I would rather play at the Silver State run in Sept with a large group of us at least showing up if not running at this event.

Tying in with B-J would might rooms more difficult, etc. Definitely crowds up Scottsdale.

Larry,
DBK is working on it, we are at the mercy of SHELBY.
Trust me, BJ will not be impacting rooms in Vegas like they do in Scottsdale, it will take them years to develop their Neveda auction.

That's already been done, and the jury is still out (at least until May...):wink

I missed Rally I, but was at Rally II. I thought it was a great event, with great people and a surprisingly awesome turnout. I know we all want Rally III to the best ever in every way, but I am concerned that without sufficient lead time the turnout maybe less than desirable. If a 30 day window for event can be given, most owners will try to block those day off in their calendars.

HELP!

The last weekend in September. Nothing is official until it comes from Shelby.

Dave - If true to form of Rally I and Rally II, it would be a four day event..Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday when you estimate the last weekend in September?
I want to plan when to leave since we will be trailering from Detroit and back.

There had been some informal talk of the S.W. Florida guys pooling their resources to share a 54-footer (Intercity, Exotic?) to round-trip multiple FGT's from Heffner's in Sarrasota to Rally III and back. If that becomes a practical reality, I'd love to hope aboard the 'Vegas train.

We can't wait. Since spending more time with my Ford GT Forum buddies dropping by from out of town and those who live here in Phoenix, Rally III is a topic that comes up during every conversation! Party at my house!

There are a couple of us in the Orlando area that might want to talk to you about the Transport from Sarasota. Send me a PM so we can discuss this.
