:thumbsupI agree, this would be a very nice addition to the next and all events. I think as a group we are all learning what we want to see when going to a 4 day outing. The GT Guys, Heff, John Hennessey, Stellin, Mammoth and Saleen all have made the effort to put something together for the GT and having a little time in the event would be an incredible idea.

Give some thought to Miller Sports Park south of Salt Lake City, Utah...Oct. 2008 in conjunction With SEMA in LV. GT's at both locations would work. Two great events....Think about it?????

George, SEMA is a great show, but open to the trade only. Can you get our members into the show?
CA Bay Area
Sears Point (aka Infineon) Raceway, the wine country, Mario Andretti winery (with Mario there!), San Francisco the city by the bay, amazing twisty roads, great weather with almost no chance of rain, wine, PCH, the Pacific Ocean, Bony & Ed live nearby, etc - 2008 Rally?

I am behind Ed on this one, venue is everything, ship your car if it is a far distance. The combinaiton of all of the above points directly to NAPA and Infineon Raceway, Sonoma Mission Inn Hotel and Spa is GT Central, late September, could not be a better place on the planet! :thumbsup

Was at the Miller Park during the SAAC 32 last month. Nice track lots of twisties, but absolutely nothing to do at night, and it is truly in the middle of nowhere. Nice place though.

Hey California guys,
I agree we have the best place to travel. So why don't we find a forumla to underwrite the shipping of cars for the other folks from the midwest and the east. Seems fair, doesn't it?
Good night all.

If it's Texas, I can help out at the Gaylord Texan. My company was owned by Gaylord for the last three and half years and just sold in June. I have a strong connection there. If it's Napa, a good friend of mine manages Silverado Country Club & Resort and I'll work us something there.
Now if it's Hawaii, I can really take care of it all here. More on that later.

Yes it does seem fair, we just need a "Big Pockets" to fund everything ! Good Night Mrs. Macgillicuddy, Where ever you are!

I am for Wailua, Maui, we can take the cruise to the top of Haleakala Volcano, see if Ed Sims Hoosiers will run in snow, do the Road to Hana, Kaanapali Beach, etc. GT Luaus, GT Mai Tais, GT Beach Parties, GT Susets. AlohaGT, great idea, how long can we stay? :thumbsup

AtomicGT, I know you mean Wailea, Maui. We discussed this idea with several members last week and received an overwhelming thumbs up. Here's what makes a Hawaii Rally very unique. For the first time in the history of the state, we now have Superferry service allowing us to drive our cars on and off between the islands of Oahu, Maui and Kauai beginning in September. We can not only tour and experience 3 distinctly different islands but what a great venue for the entire family.
In addition to some of the most scenic drives anywhere with a number of outstanding destination restaurants, world class shopping and entertainment in the best climate on the planet; I'm confident I'll be able to arrange public showings, autocross, drags and the like.
This won't be for everyone as it will involve some logisitics. However, my company does have some nice resorts and hotels on each of the islands.

Isn't the speed limit capped at 50? :bored
now if we could take over teh road to Hanna that would be a different story!:thumbsup

AlohaGT, you are correct, Wailua is on the other side of the island and probably not the place for the GT. However, Wailea is! Only issue is accumulation of red dirt on the undercarriage of the car, from the volcano dirt? You have a good car washer? :thumbsup

Excellent plan. I can help with any local stuff. Lago Vista is a suburb of Austin.

After speaking with GTJOEY and some of the Northeastern guys, Florida would be a great place. South Beach is the place to be. Can a track be located close to Miami?...Let's hear it from the right coast guys...............
