Shawn, Dave posted this recently:

..........I typically do not post a specific agenda in the run up to the event online because anyone with the Internet can then access it, which could be problematic. Probably just paranoia on my part. Also, because of some of the things going on at the event on Ford's end, it's difficult to give exact times right now. I will post a breakdown tonight, but I'm just going to have to say the events on Thursday and Friday may end up somewhat interchangeable, and all times are approximate. The biggest gap in activities will be Wednesday between ~ 1PM and 6PM.

I feel for you. I figured it would be posted in the National Rally Topic on the 1st page of the "Ford GT National Rally 10 *Registration* Who's in?" thread to make it a one stop search, but it is difficult to find. Here's the latest one I saw:
